Description

Pack of 15 Fresh seeds of Jacaranda mimosifolia – with full instructions for germination

fast growing tree from South America, eventually growing to a height of around 40 feet (12 m) within the ground, although staying much smaller if grown within a pot.

Deciduous, lacy, fern-like foliage composed of bright-green leaflets – very attractive even when not in flower or in leaf.  The leaves, as the name suggests, resemble those of a mimosa

The tree produces a spectacular long-lasting flowering display during spring and summer, where panicles of fragrant trumpet-shaped lavender flowers (each 3.5cm-5cm long) cover the tree.  A lavender carpet of fallen blossoms then forms underneath

The trees are easy to keep small (if desired) with pruning.  Makes an excellent bonsai tree as the roots are very shallow and it is easily dwarfed
