Albizia julibrissin "Rosea' (One of my favourites which is why I have one

I read that it won't tolerate frost. Where are you? Surely 'W of
London' gets frosts!


No, it can take quite hard ones - IF the summer before is long and
hot enough! It's one of the plants that is hardy in Arnold Arboretum
but not Kew. I had one, from seed, but it never thrived outside
and eventually died.
