Description: I'm selling over 600 + kinds of seeds ( and also live plants during the warmer months ) so check my other auctions . You are bidding on about 20 MIMOSA TREE SEEDS - Albizia julibrissin . Mimosas are grown as an ornamental for its unique and beautiful features. It generally grows 20-25 feet in height. Also called a Silk Tree or Persian Silk Tree, it will provide you with a rounded, expansive crown for shade within only 3-5 years. It’s difficult to know what part of this tree is most appealing. The leaves are unique, consisting of long, fern-like strands of 20-30 pairs of oblong leaflets. At night, or when it rains, your Mimosa will put on a miraculous demonstration that lives up to its Persian name Shabkhosb (meaning “night sleeper”), as they close and bow gracefully downward. Your Mimosa’s flowers which are fragrant and pink in color, about 1½ inches long , will further delight the senses all summer long as the 2-inch pom-pom-like clusters of silken threads seem to float among the leaves. Hummingbirds and butterflies are irresistibly drawn to their succulent scent. Medicinal use of Mimosa: The flower heads are carminative, digestive, sedative and tonic. They are used internally in the treatment of insomnia, irritability, breathlessness and poor memory. The flowers are harvested as they open and are dried for later use.
