Ombrella™ Mimosa Tree (Albizia julibrissin ‘Boubri’) brings resort‑style color and form to the landscape, producing large, cherry‑pink, powder‑puff flowers with a sweet fragrance throughout summer—even on young trees. A multi‑trunk character with finely cut, dark‑green foliage, it casts a light, umbrella of dappled shade and shrugs off heat and humidity. Plant in full sun and well‑drained soil; once established, it needs only occasional deep watering during dry spells for a long, low‑maintenance season of tropical flair.
Plant Description
Fast‑growing, deciduous ornamental with an elegant, spreading crown and naturally multi‑stem habit. Dark green, finely divided leaves lend a fern‑like texture and a light, airy feel under the canopy.
Flowers & Fragrance
Large, cherry‑pink, powder‑puff‑shaped flowers arrive in profusion through summer. The blooms are pleasantly fragrant and show well against the deep green foliage.
Bloom Time
Summer flowering season, with reliable color in hot, humid conditions typical of tropical and subtropical climates.
Foliage & Form
Dark‑green, fern‑textured foliage creates a soft, exotic look and casts light, dappled shade beneath a broad, umbrella‑like crown.
Sun Requirements
Full sun (6+ hours of direct light daily) ensures the best bloom density, foliage quality, and canopy fullness.
Watering Needs
Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish a broad root system. Once established, water during extended dry spells; container‑grown trees require more regular irrigation.
Soil Requirements
Grows easily in poor to moderately fertile, well‑drained soils. Avoid chronically wet sites; feed in early spring if desired.
Growth & Size
Quickly reaches about 30 ft. tall and 30 ft. wide, forming a broad, shade‑casting canopy suited to drives, poolside, and open lawns.
Hardiness
USDA Zones 6–9; adapts well to hot, humid regions and coastal exposures.
Special Features
Fast growth for quick shade; fragrant, showy flowers; tolerant of urban conditions; deer and rabbit resistant; waterwise performance after establishment.
Landscape Uses
Poolside focal point, driveway or streetside shade, lawn specimen for resort‑style interest, and a dramatic anchor in tropical‑inspired plantings.
Care Instructions
Plant in full sun with well‑drained soil. Deep‑water to establish, then reduce frequency. Fertilize in early spring if growth is slow. Prune lightly after bloom to refine structure; avoid heavy cuts during peak heat.
Design Tips
Pair with drought‑tolerant companions like Russian sage, coneflower, and roses, or set against California lilac and false cypress for contrasting textures and year‑round structure.
History & Origin
Selected as a seedling at Bourqin Nursery in southern France for its deeper pink flowers and rich green foliage—bringing upgraded color and garden performance to the classic mimosa.
