A tropical shrub prized for its feathery, bright pink to red powder-puff flower heads and fine, bipinnate foliage. Nitrogen-fixing and fast-growing, making it excellent for permaculture systems, livestock fodder, and erosion control.
The species itself is most commonly grown; no major cultivars are widely distinguished, though plants vary in flower color intensity from pink to deep red depending on provenance and growing conditions.
