This plant is a fantastic ornamental accent, known for its year-round blooming potential in warm climates. The showy flowers are actually clusters of stamens, giving them a soft, fluffy appearance. The bipinnate leaves are delicate and fold up at night. It is often used as a screen, hedge, or specimen plant in tropical and subtropical gardens.
