Pink silk flowers in midsummer. The tree that drapes itself in something no other temperate tree can do.

Albizia julibrissin, the Mimosa or Silk Tree, produces flowers unlike anything else in the temperate landscape, dense clusters of silky pink filaments that look more like a tropical confection than a tree flower, emerging in midsummer when most other flowering trees have been finished for months. The feathery, finely divided compound leaves fold at dusk and in rain, giving the tree a quality of responsiveness that makes it seem almost animate. It grows fast, tolerates drought and poor soils, and produces blooms that attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and native bees in numbers that reflect the quantity and quality of nectar the flowers produce. If you are looking to buy Mimosa tree seeds or grow silk tree from seed, this is the tree that brings a genuinely tropical sensibility to temperate gardens with almost no effort.

  • Extraordinary silky pink flower clusters in midsummer, unlike any other flowering tree in the temperate world
  • Feathery compound leaves that fold in the evening and in rain, giving the tree unusual movement and responsiveness
  • Fast-growing and drought-tolerant once established, thriving in poor soils where other trees struggle
  • Attracts hummingbirds, swallowtail butterflies, and native bees intensively during its long blooming season
  • Seed-grown trees produce natural variation in flower color from pale pink to deep rose

Things you probably did not know about the Mimosa Tree

The leaves move. Albizia julibrissin is thigmonastic and nyctinastic, meaning the leaves fold in response to touch and darkness. The compound leaflets close neatly each evening as light fades and reopen in the morning, a behavior that gives the tree an unusual daily rhythm visible to anyone who pays attention. The same folding response occurs during rain, which is why some rural communities called it the rain tree.

It was introduced to the United States in 1745 by a single botanist. The Persian physician and botanist Filippo degli Albizzi brought Mimosa seeds to Italy from Persia in 1745, and the tree was subsequently introduced to the United States where it has naturalized extensively across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. Despite being widely planted for nearly 300 years in North America, it remains native to Asia and is considered invasive in some southeastern states.

Hummingbirds are so attracted to it that plantings near feeders reduce feeder visits. The nectar production of Mimosa flowers is sufficient that hummingbirds in areas with established Mimosa trees often prefer the natural flowers to artificial feeders during the blooming season. Gardeners who plant Mimosa near hummingbird feeders frequently report that the feeder needs refilling far less often because the birds have a better source available.

The wood was used in traditional Persian and Turkish instrument making. The wood of Albizia species native to the Middle East and Central Asia was used for sounding boards and bodies in traditional stringed instruments across the Ottoman and Persian cultural spheres. The combination of density, resonance, and workability made it a preferred tonewood in regional instrument traditions for centuries.

Great quality
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Thinksport SPF 50+ Mineral Sunscreen with Zinc is a reliable, high‑protection option that feels lightweight and non‑greasy on the skin. It applies smoothly without leaving too much white cast for everyday use, and I love that it’s mineral‑based with zinc for strong UVA/UVB defense. Great for active days outdoors. Highly recommend for sensitive skin and safe sun coverage!

Brown skin approved!
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Does not leave a white cast, feels very light on the skin. Scanned on Yuka and was a 86/100 green zone! It’s so hard to find a sunscreen that isn’t trying to poison you, scanned all the sunscreen at Walmart and were rated a 1/100 through 6/100. Which brought me to Amazon. Thinksport has my vote on goodness and healthiness, would buy again!

My favorite... And I'm picky.
Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I've become a little obsessed with sunscreen over the last past 5 years. I have olive skin and developed melasma after my first pregnancy. I learned the hard way that chemical sunscreens don't help if you have melasma - and they actually make the dark spots even worse. Also the active ingredients in chemical sunscreens (like Oxybenzone and Octinoxate) are absorbed by your skin, and may cause allergies, hormonal imbalance and be toxic overtime. After learning that, I started wearing only mineral sunscreen (active ingredient is zinc and/or titanium dioxide). These are not absorbed and works by creating a physical barrier that reflects the sun (some studies suggest that some nanoparticles of zinc may be absorbed by your skin, so to be really, really safe you should look for non-nano particles). After trying a few brands, I realized the sunscreens with only zinc in their formulas worked better than the blends with titanium dioxide, but this is just my personal preference I guess. And the higher the percentage of zinc, the better. Most pure mineral sunscreens out there are 10-ish % zinc, SPF 30, 40 min water resistant - which is ok. Thinksport goes beyond that: It's 20% non-nano zinc, SPF 50+, 80 min water resistant. It really can't get any better than that! The lotion is not extremely thick when compared to other sunscreens I've tried and I find it pretty easy to apply. As every zinc sunscreen, it does leave a little fine white cast, but honestly Thinksport is not bad at all! It smells nice, lightly citrusy - and the smell vanishes soon. And, it's not overpriced. Best I've tried so far.

Works but will Dry Out Your Skin
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I am a swim instructor at an outdoor pool and this stuff DOES work. I can apply it at the beginning of a 5 hour shift and while I have experienced light tanning it has protected against burning completely without reapplication. The white cast is significant though I don't mind it aesthetically, I know its there for protection . It does rub off on things though so consider yourself warned. Major Con: it is incredibly drying, and the soap needed to scrub it off is A LOT. That coupled with chlorine is a lot for my skin . Still on my sunscreen journey.

Protected Our Skin and Smells Good
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I love this stuff! My husband and I bought it as a last minute grab for our honeymoon and it was well worth it! I'm very sensitive to the sun AND to sunscreens, so I needed something with simple ingredients that would also protect my skin without breaking me out. This not only kept away the burning rash I get from the sun, but protected my husband and I from any sunburn at all. It worked not only in dry conditions, but it stayed on for hours after we swam in the ocean. We also liked the fact that it smelled herbal, almost like pizza/Italian seasoning. That didn't bother us because we both hate the smell of most sunscreens. If you have sensitive skin or are looking for a more natural product, I highly recommend this!
