The 'Mimosa' or 'Silk Tree' will add an air of the Mediterranean to your garden. Although not as colourful as the selection 'Summer Chocolate', these plants trace their origin to the northernmost range of the species, resulting in better hardiness. Large, green ferny compound leaves, made up of hundreds of tiny leaflets, drape the tree. Fragrant, pale pink powderpuff flowers will attract pollinators and hummingbirds.
