Too cold in the UK.
How To Grow Mimosa Hostilis - Hunker
The fragrant flowers, delicate leaves, and ease of care of the fast-growing Mimosa hostilis tree make it a favorite among gardeners. It grows best outdoors in USDA zones 9 through 11. However, with the proper care and planting, it can be grown indoors as a colorful, fragrant, bushy tree.

I don’t have personal experience but I do have some seeds that I can grow from. If you’re interested and like the challenge we could both have try and learn on the way and share our experiences? Maybe in a couple of years we end up with a beautiful scrub in the window sill
Let me know and I’ll join you in your quest.

I understand but there tends to be a conflict between these common articles and reality. For example, there is a common misconception that cannabis cannot be cultivated in the UK, and Google will generally reiterate this misconception.Would have been quicker to type that question into google.

Therefore, I posted this in search of those on the ground level who could report an actual finding.
Absolutely, I'd love to try it out.I don’t have personal experience but I do have some seeds that I can grow from.

So I will read up a bit and then I’ll come back, I’m starting here Share The Seeds - Index
How did you folks get on with this?
Whilst it sounds like a UK winter will most likely kill the plant, I am curious about growing one indoors, either year-round or as a container plant which can be overwintered indoors. Has anyone tried this?
I have a conservatory (this is Brit-speak for a glass lean-to construction on the back of one's house) that my collection of non-psychoactive tropical plants enjoy, which could be a promising environment perhaps.
My experience of growing cannabis and, more recently, mushrooms has taught me how satisfying this can be, knowing the work that you (and Mother Nature) have put into the final result. Whilst it would be many years before I could harvest any root bark, I quite like the idea of having a living Hostilis to tend and look at regardless.

I've grown them from seed on a windowsill with very little effort. They're very attractive plants when full of foliage. Just give them plenty of sun and don't drown the roots. They didn't come close to developing root bark and I can't see any sized pot being large enough to support that.
Someone shared a hydroponic method here for this a few years back. I don't know if it's proven, and I haven't been able to find it since. Still, it seems worth looking into.
