Description

Transition the seasons from winter to spring with bold and bright colour year after year! The canary-yellow blooms of the Flowering Mimosa are a spectacular sight from January to April, each year.

Hundreds of bobbly yellow blooms smother these branches in a lemon haze, almost hiding the stunning grey green filigree foliage that makes this tree a handsome year-round feature in the garden. The eye-catching pom-pom blooms don't just look picture-perfect, but also carry a heavenly fragrance and provide a valuable nectar source for 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. It's an excellent choice for a large container too, producing a unique feature.

Supplied as an established plant in a 15cm pot, with a 70cm support cane.

Top Tips

All new growth is more susceptible to damage from cold weather, so provide adequate frost protection for winter.

Care Information

Planting 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:

  • 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.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
