Recent Question from Gardeners
Question
Mimosa
Where can I obtain seeds from a Red-flowering Mimosa?
Answer
The scientific name of the plant you are looking for is Albizia julibrissin var. rosea. I have looked around and was unable to find a source for seeds, my best suggestion would be to find one in your area and try collecting the seeds yourself. As a sidenote the Red-flowering Mimosa tree is a heavy seed producer and often becomes a nuisance.
