Flowering Mimosa Tree
You may have enjoyed delicious champagne and orange juice Mimosa cocktails at brunch, but the Flowering Mimosa Tree (Albizia julibrissin) is an elegant tree for your landscape! Also called the Persian Silk Tree, it produces tropical pink, powderpuff-style flowers with silky, thread-like petals that seem as light as air.
Originally from China and Eastern Asia, Mimosa trees were introduced to the United States for their exotic flair and eye-catching beauty. This fast-growing, deciduous ornamental tree features fern-like foliage, smooth gray bark, and wide-spreading branches that put on a spectacular summer show. The pea-like seed pods shift from green to brown, adding even more interest as they rattle in the breeze.
Mimosas thrive in heat and humidity while tolerating drought, making them an excellent choice for challenging sites. Vase-shaped, flat-topped, and fine-textured, they deliver tropical flair with very little fuss. Children often find the blossoms whimsical - like something straight out of a Dr. Seuss storybook!
