I'm not sure what you mean? However, all Calliandra
species (which are tropical in origin) here in San Diego,
CA. bloom in Winter.

I would assume it would be pretty difficult to
grow outdoors all year. This plant is native
to the tropical regions of Nicaragua to Ecuador,
of Central and South America. It can be grown
as a house plant from what I've read though.

What else?
See who else is growing Calliandra haematocephala - Red Powder Puff.
See who else has plants in genus Calliandra.
Do the flowers only appear at the end of the branch, Delonix ?
