Liven up your garden with the bright yellow blooms of Acacia Dealbata. Commonly known as Mimosa, this hardy perennial produces unusual, feathery foliage that acts as a backdrop for the star of the show – vibrant, sunny-yellow pom-pom shaped flowers! In warmer areas of the UK, this perennial can be grown against a sunny wall, providing a vital food source for wildlife with its nectar-rich blooms. In colder areas, grow in containers and move to a frost-free position in winter. Pot up plants in well drained compost and grow them on in frost free conditions. Mimosa plants become hardier with maturity and can tolerate temperatures of -10°C (14°F). In mild areas of the UK they may be planted outdoors in rich fertile, non-alkaline soil with good drainage, once they are well grown. Gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days prior to planting. Choose a very sheltered position in full sun - ideally against a south facing wall. In frost prone areas, grow acacia in large patio containers of loam based compost such as John Innes No. 2 that can be moved to a conservatory or greenhouse during winter. Feed and water acacia plants regularly until they are fully established. With maturity acacia dealbata will develop good drought tolerance. Acacia dealbata will naturally form a single stemmed tree, but may be cut back while young to produce a multistemmed specimen for wall training. Mature Mimosa trees do not respond well to hard pruning but should be pruned lightly after flowering to maintain their shape and reduce their size if being in patio containers.
