The Persian silk tree has special flowers which especially stand out because of their circular bundles of pinks stamens, protruding far beyond the petals. This variety of Mr. Wilson is, unlike the ordinary kind, quite cold-hardy. The maximum height is 6 meters, but the tree can also be pruned. Despite its stunning growth, flowering and hardiness, the species isn’t common. However, you can regularly spot them around the Mediterranean sea. In 1745, the Persian silk tree was already imported by England from its original habitat in China. Besides the beautiful flowers, the leaves of the Albizia are extremely worthwhile. The double pinnate sickle-shaped leaves that resemble the leaves of a fern, fold themselves over and close at night. Hence the nickname ‘sleeping tree’. Sowing description: First soak the seeds for 24 hours in water. Sow them in sowing mix at 20 degC and keep the soil moist constantly. Family: Fabaceae Scientific name: Albizia julibrissin 'E.H. Wilson' Common name: Persian silk tree Native to: China Sowing time: December - August Difficulty: Easy Minimum temperature: -15 degrees Celcius Photo: Ceské tropy
