Calliandra californica is an evergreen shrub known for its fern-like foliage and year-round red, powder-puff flowers. Uses include as an informal screen, hedge, xeriscape accent, for bank stabilization, or foundation planting. Its nitrogen-fixing roots can help improve soil health. Extremely drought-tolerant once established. It thrives on low water but produces more flowers with occasional deep irrigation in summer. Best suited for desert conditions and inland sun exposures. It is adaptable to various soil types, including sandy, rocky, and even clay soils, provided they are well-drained. Deer-resistant. Fire-resistant. Verticillium wilt-resistant. Cold hardy to 20°F.
