Also known as Pink Fairyduster, Fairyduster, Mesquitilla, Mock Mesquite
Pink Fairy Duster is a small, densely branched, deciduous shrub that can grow up to 3 feet tall, though it is usually much shorter. It has woody stems that are slender, rigid, and light gray in color and green fern-like leaves. During low night temperatures, fluid at the base of the leaves retreats, causing the leaves to fold until morning. This plant is noted for its vibrant pink flowers that resemble pincushions, growing as spherical clusters of stamens that are 2 inches in diameter.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
