Its elegant, finely divided fernlike foliage folds delicately at night and in rain, giving it an almost tropical character. In midsummer it produces an extraordinary display of fluffy, powder-puff flowers in soft pink and cream, filling the air with a sweet honey fragrance. Fast growing and surprisingly hardy, it thrives in a warm sunny position and free-draining soil, making a stunning focal point in any garden within just a few years of sowing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShowstopping summer flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e — clouds of fragrant pink powder-puff blooms in July and August that stop people in their tracks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStunning tropical foliage\u003c\/strong\u003e — delicate fern-like leaves that fold at night, giving a living, animated quality unlike any other hardy tree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRemarkably fast growing\u003c\/strong\u003e — can reach 2–3 metres within just a few years from seed, flowering as early as year three\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardy and drought tolerant\u003c\/strong\u003e — surprisingly resilient once established, tolerating frost and thriving in hot, dry, sunny spots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese seeds come with an option of \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/pages\/eco-packaging\"\u003eEco Packaging - Find out more. \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 300px;\" bgcolor=\"#b2f755\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 90px;\"\u003eSow Inside before transplanting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 90px; text-align: center;\"\u003eFebruary - May\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 90px;\"\u003eSow Outside\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 90px; text-align: center;\"\u003enot recommended\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrowing Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv lang=\"en-GB\" data-md=\"61\" class=\"mod\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-hveid=\"CAcQAA\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\" data-attrid=\"wa:\/description\" class=\"LGOjhe\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSow February to May\u003c\/strong\u003e indoors with bottom heat — a propagator or warm windowsill at 20–25°C gives the fastest and most reliable germination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScarify and hot soak first\u003c\/strong\u003e — nick or sand the hard seed coat then pour boiling water over seeds and soak for 24–48 hours until they visibly swell and plump up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse free-draining compost\u003c\/strong\u003e — a mix of seed compost with 30–40% perlite or coarse grit works well; sow one seed per small pot at 2–3cm depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGermination takes 7–21 days\u003c\/strong\u003e — one of the faster trees to sprout once properly prepared; if nothing appears after 3 weeks try a fresh soak on remaining seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull sun essential after germination\u003c\/strong\u003e — move immediately to the brightest position available; seedlings are vigorous and grow rapidly so pot on as soon as roots fill the pot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrow on for a full season\u003c\/strong\u003e before planting out into a warm, sheltered, sunny position — ideally against a south-facing wall in the UK for best flowering results\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Easy Grow Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Eco Packaging","offer_id":46733686702279,"sku":null,"price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Full Packaging","offer_id":46733686735047,"sku":null,"price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/1267\/0407\/files\/AlbiziaJulibrissinMimosaTreePersianSilk.png?v=1783372256","url":"https:\/\/easygrowseeds.com\/products\/albizia-julibrissin-mimosa-tree-persian-silk-tropical-plant-seeds","provider":"Easy Grow Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
