16. The Mimosa Border	<< Back

This border is situated to the right of the Summerhouse at the foot of a south wall where it is possible to grow a number of otherwise tender, sub-tropical plants. We grow several mimosas, including Acacia rubida, A. melanoxylon, A. longifolia, A. retinoides and A. mearnzii; the spectacular South American yucca-like Beschorneria yccoides, Dasylirion acrotrichon, Crinum 'Cape Dawn'. A number of feather palms have survived here for some years including Jubea chilensis and Butia capitata.
