Pompon Tree – Dais cotinifolia

The Pompon Tree (Dais cotinifolia) is a beautiful indigenous South African tree, admired for its rounded growth habit, attractive foliage and spectacular clusters of pink, pom-pom-shaped flowers. When in bloom, this small to medium-sized tree becomes a real garden feature, adding colour and charm to indigenous and wildlife-friendly landscapes.

Growing Pompon Tree

Pompon Tree grows best in a sunny position with well-drained soil. It is an excellent choice for smaller gardens, courtyards and ornamental planting, where its attractive shape and showy flowers can be appreciated. Once established, it can tolerate periods of dry weather, although young trees benefit from regular watering while establishing.

The fluffy pink flowers attract bees and other pollinating insects, making this tree a valuable addition to a pollinator-friendly garden. Its manageable size and beautiful seasonal display also make it suitable as a focal point in mixed indigenous plantings.

Ideal for:

• Indigenous South African gardens
• Pollinator-friendly landscapes
• Small gardens and courtyards
• Ornamental and feature planting
• Water-wise gardens once established
