Dais cotinifolia
Pompon tree
Description
Dais cotinifolia, commonly known as the pompom tree, is a small, deciduous tree native to southern Africa. It's renowned for its spectacular display of vibrant, spherical flower heads that bloom in shades of pink or purple, resembling pom-poms, hence its name. The flowers attract a variety of pollinators, adding visual appeal and ecological value to gardens. The tree features attractive, ovate leaves that turn a warm color in autumn. Dais cotinifolia is a relatively fast-growing tree, reaching a moderate height, and it is often used as a specimen plant or for screening. It thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. It is fairly adaptable, but benefits from regular watering during dry periods. Pruning can help shape the tree and encourage more flower production.
