Family Fabaceae
Originating from Iran to China, Taiwan
Delicate, exotic, dark green feathery leaves are borne on a broad spreading, airy crown making an Acacia- like canopy of dense foliage, that is festooned with incredible deep cherry pink, scented, powder puff flowers in summer. A vigorously growing large shrub that flowers even when young, it looks at home in exotic and Mediterranean style gardens, and is adaptable to pruning to any shape. The amazing foliage emerges green with purple/red tints, maturing to a deep dusky red with green hues developing later in summer. Easy to grow in well drained soil in full sun.
Height and spread after 10 – 20 years 6m x 4m
