Calliandra tweedii

Mexican Flamebush is an exotic evergreen perennial shrub with a compact, shrub-like habit. It produces red flowers that provide strong seasonal colour. The foliage remains throughout the year, contributing to consistent structure in plantings. Commonly used in tropical-themed gardens and mixed shrub borders, it can also be planted as a low informal hedge. Grows to approx. 2m H x 2m W.
