This oriental looking shrub has a tendency to grow more horizontally than vertically. It has cascading branches and powder puff white/pink flowers. The flowers are mimosa-like "powderpuffs". Each flower opens for a single night to display showy filaments, which usually are white at the very base and red at the tip (although they may be pink). By the next day, the filaments have wilted, and unfertilized flowers drop.
