cacia dealbata
Silver Wattle, Florist's Mimosa

The best known, doubly pinnate foliage. One of the

hardiest. 40ft (12m)

A genus of over 500 species scattered over the

warmer regions of the world, but most abundant in
Australia to where most of these species are
endemic. Although the colour of the flower varies
but little, there is great variety in habit and shape of
leaf, and many have the delightful perfume of the
florist's "Mimosa" (A.dealbata). Fortunately, although
some species are of considerable size (the heights
given refer to the size attained in nature), they can
be successfully and easily grown in pots. The
species listed have been specially selected as being
best suited for cultivation in this country, requiring
little more than protection from frost, and perhaps
hardy in the very mildest parts of the country. Try
them - some of the most beautiful of greenhouse
plants. Acacia seed germinates freely if placed in a
cup of boiling water and allowed to stand 2 days
before sowing.
