Product Description

Silk Tree Seeds, Albizia julibrissin, Perennial Plant, Bonsai Specimen, Pink Flower, Persian Silk Tree or Pink Siris

In colder climates winter the plant indoors, or greenhouse it.

With their feathery foliage and delicate flower clusters, silk trees (Albizia julibrissin) add an exotic feel to gardens within U.S. Department of Agriculture hardiness zones 6 to 9. Mature silk trees bloom prolifically in summer, setting drifts of pale pink flowers that give way to long, flat seed pods in fall. Once removed from the pods, silk tree seeds germinate effortlessly and will rapidly put on growth. For best results, you do need to lightly process the seeds and sow them in the right conditions.

Gently rub one side of a seed with a fine rasp until the light brown outer coat thins and takes on a whitish appearance. Do not scarify the seeds too deeply because this will kill them.

Place the silk tree seeds inside a vacuum flask. Heat water on the stovetop and remove it when it begins to boil. Pour the hot water into the vacuum flask and secure the lid. Soak the seeds in the hot water for 24 hours.

Drain the silk tree seeds on a sheet of paper towel. Prepare planting containers while they drain. Fill 3-inch plastic pots with a moistened mixture of sterile compost and perlite.

Poke a 1-inch-deep hole in the center of the compost mixture. Place one seed in the hole and loosely cover it with additional compost. Do not firm the growing media.

Place the potted silk tree seeds outdoors against a lightly shaded, south-facing wall. Moisten the compost mixture whenever it feels dry below the surface. Avoid letting the compost dry out completely because the seeds will not germinate as reliably.

Watch for sprouting in seven days, but do not be discouraged if it takes several months for the seeds to germinate. Grow the silk tree seedlings in their containers until roots appear at the drainage holes, then transplant them into a sunny bed 15 to 20 feet apart.
