Dais cotinifolia (Thymelaeceae) - Common name: PomPom tree. In its native home of South Africa, there are reports of 20-foot specimens, but in cultivation we expect smaller trees. Flower clusters in dense umbels, 3 inches across, appear at the tip of the branches for several weeks into September. They are pale lilac to a delicate pink color, and their fragrance is Daphne-like. In our late Winter to early Spring, they are briefly deciduous.
