The Mimosa loves sun and is drought tolerant. It folds its leaves under water stress, preventing water loss and under severe conditions, it will defoliate until the rains return. The Mimosa blooms throughout the year with numerous fragrant greenish-white flowers. The flowers are self-fertilized. It takes about four months after flowering for the long flattened pods to mature and liberate seeds. The Mimosa seeds have a hard coat which requires scarification (abrasion) and germination is usually 6-10 days after sowing. Fun tree and easy indoor care.
