Rosea Silk Tree
Albizia Julibrissin 'Rosea'
Overview
The Rosea Silk Tree (Albizia julibrissin 'Rosea') adds a touch of elegance with its fluffy, pink, thread-like flowers. Hardy in zones 6-9, it thrives in full sun, growing to 20-25 feet high with an equal spread. Its broad, umbrella-like canopy offers dappled shade. Fast-growing, it's drought-tolerant and prefers well-draining soil. Beware: it can self-seed and spread, requiring control in some areas. Use as a focal point in open landscapes.
