Calliandra haematocephala ‘Alba’ is a decorative evergreen shrub or small tree known for its fine, fern-like foliage and soft, powder-puff-style white flowers. These striking blooms appear in clusters and create a light, airy effect that adds texture and brightness to tropical and warm-climate gardens.

Originally native to dry tropical forests of Bolivia, this adaptable ornamental is widely grown for its long flowering periods and elegant form. Its delicate foliage and showy blooms make it an excellent feature plant for garden beds, hedging, or specimen planting in frost-free landscapes.
