The rounded, heart-shaped leaves are green on top and silvery-white underneath, creating a shimmering effect when the wind moves through the canopy. In early summer, small fragrant creamy-yellow blossoms appear in hanging clusters, followed by attractive tan nutlets that persist into autumn. Its dense, uniform branching habit and tolerance of urban conditions make it an excellent choice for lawns, parks, and street plantings.\u003cbr\u003e\nAs a shade or specimen tree, Silver Linden offers multi-season interest with its silvery foliage, fragrant summer bloom, and reliable yellow fall color. It responds well to pruning and can be trained as a single-trunk specimen or allowed to develop its naturally pyramidal shape. The blooms are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators, and the tree adapts to a range of soil types once established. Its tolerance of heat, drought, and pollution makes it a dependable performer in challenging landscapes.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Tilia tomentosa\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Silver Linden\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Deciduous shade tree\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright, pyramidal to rounded canopy\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun to partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Moist, well-drained loam; adaptable to clay and sandy soils\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 4-7\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: 60-180 days with cold stratification\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Sow 1\/4 inch deep in moist seed-starting mix; stratify 3-5 months before warming\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 30-50 feet apart at maturity\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Fragrant summer blooms attract pollinators; foliage is silvery beneath\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663239807112,"sku":"EXGA-704","price":19.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_15831fdd-6193-4557-b32a-2a089ef6036d.png?v=1791896131","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/5-seeds-tilia-tomentosa-silver-linden-deciduous-shade-tree","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
