Description

Large, richly pink flowers distinguish this variety of the wonderful Silk Tree which was selected from a batch of seeds by the plant collector, Johan Possemiers. As well as having deeper pink flowers than the species, it is also one of the winter-hardiest varieties and the most floriferous at a young age

Albizia julibrissin ‘Tropical Dream’ forms a multi-stemmed, deciduous shrub or small tree with a spreading, umbrella-like habit and feathery, mimosa-like foliage. The delicate-looking leaves fold closed in the evening and reopen in the morning. From July to September, it is smothered in a large number of sweetly-fragrant flowers looking like fluffy clusters of rich pink, silk threads.

Unusual flowers and foliage, and a long blooming period, make Albizia julibrissin ‘Tropical Dream’ perfect for adding an exotic feature to small gardens and large patio containers. Grow it as a free-standing specimen or trained against a sheltered, sunny wall. In small spaces, its height can easily be managed by considerate pruning. Maximum height: 4-8m (13-26ft). Maximum spread: 2.5–4 m (8-13ft).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

How to Grow
Plant albizia in a sheltered position in any well drained soil in full sun. 'Evy's Pride' will tolerate temperatures down to -8C.

For more information and guidance check out our Gardening Guides.

More Info
Prune silk trees in winter or early spring, reducing the stems to fit the available space, and removing any damaged, crossing or wayward branches entirely. Albizia may be successfully wall trained. During the first few years prune to achieve a permanent framework of stems. Thereafter the stems of wall trained albizia can be reduced annually to within 4 buds from the permanent framework.
