Calliandra Eriophylla, commonly known as the Pink Fairy Duster, is a charming ornamental shrub native to desert regions. These seeds produce compact, low-growing plants covered with soft pink, powder-puff-like flowers that attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Perfect for rock gardens, borders, or xeriscapes, this drought-tolerant plant thrives in hot, sunny conditions and poor soils. It’s a beautiful, low-maintenance addition to any garden or landscape.
