(syn. Albizia julibrissin ‘Ncaj1’)
Family Fabaceae
Originating from Iran to China, Taiwan

Cascading, delicate, exotically dark purple, feathery leaves are borne on elegantly downswept branches, that are festooned with incredible pink/red and white, scented, powder puff flowers in summer. A large shrub or small tree with show-stopping qualities, it looks at home in exotic and Mediterranean-style gardens, or grown in pots for patio display, where its slender weeping habit is extremely useful. The amazing foliage emerges green with purple tints, maturing to a deep dusky purple green with red hues for the summer. Easy to grow in well drained soil in full sun.

Height and spread after 10 – 20 years 6m x 4m
