Please see description below for full product details.The canary-yellow blooms of the Flowering Mimosa Tree are a spectacular sight from January to April every year, where hundreds of bobbly yellow blooms smother the branches of the Mimosa tree in a lemon haze, almost hiding the stunning grey green filigree foliage that makes this tree a handsome year round feature in the garden. Set among a ball of fern-like leaves on a standard stem, the eye-catching pom-pom blooms not only look a picture but carry a heavenly fragrance and provide a valuable nectar source for friendly insects that emerge in milder weather. Widely seen across southern Europe, this variety will thrive outdoors in most of the UK too and is a great plant for conservatories or sunny corners of a room indoors in regions prone to severe frost - altogether a super tree to own! It's a great choice for a large container too producing a really unique feature tree and if you buy a pair you can frame doorways and entrances.Care GuidePlanting Advice for Mimosa:- Grow mimosa in a sunny, sheltered site in well-drained, neutral to acid soil. Protect from frost and winds.- Best planted in the spring, after all danger of frosts has passed, so that new wood is given the longest possible ripening period before its first winter.- If you garden in an exposed or frost-prone area, then Mimosa is best grown in a large pot where it will make a great conservatory plant and should be watered only occasionally over winter.- Dig a planting hole 3 x wider than the roots of the shrub you're planting and mix some well-rotted compost or manure with the soil from the hole and use this to re-fill once the shrub is in place.- Before planting soak container-grown shrubs thoroughly and allow to drain.- Remove the plant from its pot and tease out a few of the roots.- Add Mycorrhizal fungi to the roots when planting to help plants establish quicker.- Place your shrub in the hole at the same level at the pot and refill the hole with the earth removed (backfilling).- Firm in the soil with your heel, avoiding the root ball and water well.- Mulch around the base of the plant with a collar, compost, gravel, bark etc.- If you're planting into pots, place some old rocks, stones or gravel in the bottom of the pot for drainage and ballast.- Use the best ericaceous compost you can buy and some sand or grit for drainage. Aftercare Advice for Mimosa:- Hardy to -10°C you'll need to provide shelter from the worst of the winter weather as Mimosa does not like the cold.- If damaged by cold weather, it should regrow from the base as a multi-stem, which is ideal if planted in a small garden as it will restrict its growth.- All new growth is more susceptible to damage from cold weather, so provide adequate frost protection for the first two years to help it survive. Pruning Advice for Mimosa:- Pruning is not necessary apart from to remove any branches that are dead or damaged. Remove any shoots that appear along the stem to keep it clean.Planting Time:February - NovemberFlowering Time:March - MayAbout You GardenEstablished for over 50 years, our award winning trusted plant supplier are based in South Lincolnshire.
