Description
Albizia julibrissin 'Summer Chocolate' is a deciduous shrub or small tree known for its distinctive and attractive foliage. It typically reaches an ultimate height of around 8 meters and a spread of 4 meters, forming a dome-shaped crown as it matures. The plant features delicate, fern-like leaflets that emerge in shades of pink-bronze and mature to a deep purple, providing a striking contrast in the garden.
In summer, 'Summer Chocolate' produces clusters of small, fluffy, spherical flowerheads that are pinkish with hints of yellow-green, adding subtle beauty to its overall appearance. This variety thrives in well-drained soils and is particularly drought-tolerant once established. It prefers a sheltered position in full sun, making it an excellent choice for adding unique foliage and structure to sunny garden spots.
