A glorious sight in full flower, forming a large open, evergreen tree with fern-like glaucous to silvery foliage. Fragrant racemes of spherical yellow flower heads from winter through to spring. Coming from Australia and New Zealand, mimosas need a sheltered site, in full sun, but can still be caught out by prolonged cold and wet. Worth taking the risk though for a beautiful specimen in a sheltered city garden? I think so.
