Acacia dealbata - Mimosa

Acacia dealbata commonly known as mimosa, the favourite tree of Mediterranean gardens can be grown successfully in a sheltered sunny garden in London or in all but the coldest parts of the UK. This tree needs a relatively large garden if it is to be allowed to establish itself and grows extremely quickly. Alternatively, it can be kept within bounds with careful pruning after flowering.

Acacias once established will tolerate temperatures of -6c to -8c or even lower for short periods. They require free draining soil and a moderate amount of watering in hot weather and must be planted in full sun (not good in lawns)

They will reward you with their beautiful feathery evergreen foliage and their beautifully scented fluffy yellow flowers which dominate the skyline at a time when very few other trees are in flower. Long lasting display from late winter to early spring.

Mimosa is ideal for cut flower arrangements and is an integral part of any Mediterranean planting mixing well with palms and broad leaf plants and trees (Stake when young or use root anchor until established) Acacias should be planted in Spring or Summer.
