This stunning variety of the Silk Tree is distinguished by its large, vibrant pink flowers, selected from a batch of seeds by the plant collector Johan Possemiers. Compared to the species, it boasts deeper pink blooms and is one of the hardiest varieties, flourishing even in colder winters. Albizia julibrissin 'Tropical Dream' grows as a multi-stemmed, deciduous shrub or small tree with an umbrella-like shape and feathery, mimosa-like leaves. The leaves fold up in the evening and reopen with the morning sun. From July to September, it becomes covered in a profusion of fragrant, fluffy pink flowers that resemble silky clusters of threads. With its unique flowers, attractive foliage, and extended blooming period, 'Tropical Dream' makes a striking addition to small gardens or large patio containers, offering an exotic touch. It can be grown as a specimen plant or trained against a sheltered, sunny wall. In smaller spaces, its height can be easily managed through pruning. Maximum height: 4-8m (13-26ft). Maximum spread: 2.5-4m (8-13ft). Since plant height and spread vary with the seasons, we list plants by pot size rather than a fixed size. The plant's dimensions upon delivery will depend on the season, so the images provided are for reference only.

Growing Information

Plant albizia in a sheltered position in any well drained soil in full sun. 'Evy's Pride' will tolerate temperatures down to -8C.

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

Prices include VAT where applicable.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

All Suttons products should reach you in perfect condition, just as they left us. If you are dissatisfied in any way with their condition on arrival, please let us know within 14 days. We are only liable for the cost of the goods as quoted on the website plus the cost of delivery if the goods are faulty.

Unlike many companies, we publish all of our reviews - good or bad - to give you, the customer, total transparency and peace of mind.

Why Not Try This Instead

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
