Calliandra surinamensis , the pink powder puff, is a tender evergreen shrub whose flowers look like nothing else in the garden: rounded heads of tiny blooms whose long silky stamens are white at the base and flush to rose pink at the tips, so each cluster opens into a soft, glowing pompom. The ferny, bipinnate leaves fold up at night, and on a mature plant the flowers keep coming over many months rather than in one flush. At 23cm this is a substantial plant that earns its place on a warm patio all summer. Hardiness and seasons. This is not a frost-hardy plant. The RHS rates it H1B, which means

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as GROWTROPICALS LTD, number 12556047. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
