Description

The listing, Mimosa Tree 50+ Seeds (Persian Silk Tree) has ended.

Bidding for 50+ seeds, I will DOUBLE the amount if bid is 1500 or more

Native to the Middle East and Asia, mimosa was brought to this country in 1785 by the famous French botanist Andre Michaux, who planted it in his botanic garden in Charleston, South Carolina. It grew quickly into a vase-shaped, flat-topped tree, 30 to 40 feet tall, and it loved the Southern climate. The flowers, attractive to butterflies, hummingbirds, and colonial gardeners, ranged in color from nearly red to deep pink to flesh-pink to white.

Questions & Comments

I had one as a child. It smelled like peaches. I hope to win and plant some now. Nice auction.

Yes the smell that hangs in the air when they are in bloom is very pleasing. Good luck bidding :)

I have always wanted this in my yard! What is the best way to plant so that you have success in them growing?

If you search google for mimosa tree from seed then there should be many articles on how to grow. Just dont plant near sidewalk or right over sewer line as it has semi invasive surface roots. Beautiful tree and generally hard to kill...
