You wouldn't guess it from its exotic appearance, but this plant is quite hardy in our climate and grows into a small tree. Whether in a pot or in the open ground, its very fine, large, bipinnate leaves and lemon-yellow to cream-colored powder-puff-like flowers will amaze you! After flowering, pods develop, changing from green to brown, in which the seeds are soon visible.
