#multipurposespecies

[pinecohn-blog-blog]

The Baja Fairy Duster (Calliandra californica) is a native shrub growing up to 6 ft with a bright red inflorescence and bipinnate leaves that actually close at night and conserve water very well making this an excellent drought-tolerant (xeriscape) wildlife and ornamental species. For those who are herbologically inclined, it is also used as a calming, mind-leveling nervine flower essence and for the friendly neighborhood permaculturist, it's a N-fixer!
