I'm sure they're prolific on the West Coast too. They're a smaller tree with wispy fans of leaves and gossamer flowers. They form large beans that break open and the seeds scatter in the wind. It's actually a NotSoAngryRedHeadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11483848154656500575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4070454815246698804.post-61486838157899594422009-03-04T21:53:00.000-06:002009-03-04T21:53:00.000-06:00What is a mimosa?

However, I was looking around DavesGarden.com for what you suggested, and I found Sedum dasyphyllum which seems to resemble it more although not completely. One of the notes on Corsican Stonecrop, Blue Tears Sedum says that it reminds her of Donkey Tail which is exactly what I thought too except Donkey Tail isn't as NotSoAngryRedHeadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11483848154656500575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4070454815246698804.post-35992702868835856162009-03-03T21:45:00.000-06:002009-03-03T21:45:00.000-06:00I love latana for the same reasons: It's is practi...I love latana for the same reasons: It's is practically fool proof and the blossoms are wonderful. It's not hardy here in the Pacific Northwest. I love Mimosa trees too but if I had to dig out the neighbor's seedlings, I would be none too happy. <BR/><BR/>BTW, I think (but I'm not positive) that your gray sedum is Sedum spathulifolim 'Blanco.'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
