Albizia Julib. Summer Chocolate

Description

Albizia julibrissin Summer Chocolate is an extraordinary cultivar of the Persian Silk Tree, renowned for its dramatic dark purple to burgundy foliage that provides a bold contrast in any landscape. Unlike the standard Albizia julibrissin, which has bright green leaves, Summer Chocolate offers a rich, tropical appeal with its unique coloring and airy, fern-like foliage that gently folds at night.

During summer, this fast-growing tree is adorned with clusters of soft pink, powder-puff flowers that exude a light fragrance and attract pollinators, adding beauty and movement to the garden. Reaching a mature height of 15-20 feet (4.5-6 meters) with a broad, spreading canopy, it provides dappled shade and an exotic, airy feel.
