Distribution en: Tropics & Subtropics to Caucasus
Description en: Genus of about 150 species of deciduous trees, shrubs, and climbers, often found in poor soils, in tropical and subtropical regions from Africa and Asia to Australia. They are grown for their filigree foliage and attractive flowerheads of small florets with long stamens, which may be borne on plants only a few years old. The alternate, 2-pinnate leaves have numerous oblong-ovate to sickle-shaped leaflets. In frost-prone areas, overwinter container-grown plants in a cool greenhouse; elsewhere, grow as specimen plants.
Hardiness en: Frost hardy to frost tender; A. julibrissin may survive to -20°C (-4°F) if growth has been ripened in summer. Alternating mild and cold spells may damage top-growth.
Cultivation en:
Propagation en: Sow seed in spring, at not less than 15°C (59°F), after soaking for 24 hours in warm water. Root semi-ripe cuttings with bottom heat in summer. Take root cuttings in winter.
Pests en: Red spider mites and whiteflies may be a problem under glass. Outdoors, prone to vascular wilt.
