| Abundance | Frequent to common, except rare on the Outer Banks. Despite it being a reasonably common exotic, it seldom is overly troubling in natural areas. | |
| Habitat | Roadsides, persistent at old homesites, fields, meadows, clearings, unused urban lots, pine plantations, sometimes adventive in natural woodlands, forests, and pinelands. Widely planted in yards. |
| Phenology | Flowering May-August. | |
| Identification | Mimosa (Tree) is probably familiar to most folks, due to its graceful wide-spreading crown shape and pink pompom flowers. The leaves are large but highly dissected into small leaflets. Fruits are long, dangling pods, green at first, turning brown. | |
