The Calliandra California, aka 'Baja Fairy Duster', is a fast-growing, thornless, small to medium shrub. Its bright red brushy flowers compliment the soft ferny foliage that makes this popular hummingbird destination a must-have in your yard. The Baja Fairy Duster blooms spring through fall and grows well in the desert and sub-tropical landscapes, requiring little maintenance.
Admired for its unique, feathery red flowers, this plant is often used in xeriscaping and low-water landscapes, where it thrives in hot, dry climates. The flowers resemble fluffy, delicate pom-pom blooms during the spring and summer, attracting pollinators like bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies. This plant typically grows to a height of 3 to 5 feet and has a rounded, bushy form, making it a popular choice for adding color and interest to desert landscapes. This plant prefers full sun to partial shade, and its compact size makes it suitable for any landscape theme. Resistant to most pests and diseases, occasional pruning may be necessary to maintain its shape and promote new growth. Baja Fairy Duster is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to create a visually striking, low-water garden that attracts pollinators and thrives in harsh, dry environments.

"I call these shrubs my "little fairies" and love them! I love to enjoy a sip of tea out on my porch as the hummingbirds and butterflies come to visit my Little Fairies. They get a lovely red bloom that looks like a duster and the shrub stays green all year. I don't know who wouldn't like to have a little fairy of their own. "
