Albizia julibrissin
Plant Availability: Late Spring (November - January)
Pot Size: 3L
The Pink Silk Mimosa is a stunning ornamental tree known for its fluffy, silk-like pink blossoms and graceful, fern-like foliage. It attracts bees, butterflies, and birds, supporting biodiversity and adding life to the garden. Beyond its beauty, it provides light shade, improves soil fertility by fixing nitrogen, and is valued in traditional herbal practices.
Season: Plant in spring or early autumn
Soil: Adaptable, thrives in well-drained loamy soil
Watering: Moderate; drought tolerant once established
Position: Full sun for best flowering
Fertilising: Minimal needs due to nitrogen-fixing ability
Enjoy as a statement tree in the garden or food forest. Flowers can be harvested for teas and tinctures in traditional herbal medicine. Its light canopy makes it a perfect companion in layered plantings, providing dappled shade.
Prune in winter to shape and control size if needed. Protect young trees from frost. Once mature, it is hardy and low maintenance.
Pairs beautifully with other sun-loving herbs and shrubs such as rosemary, lavender, and sage. Its light shade makes it ideal for underplanting with medicinal herbs or pollinator-friendly flowers.
Available for pick up from our nursery in Maida Vale (6057) , Perth, WA.
Please note that our nursery is not open to the public and plant pick ups are available Saturdays between 9:00am–10:00am only. Please ensure you are able to collect during this time before placing your order. Orders must be collected within 14 days of purchase unless arranged otherwise.
