'Brabant' silver linden (Tilia tomentosa 'Brabant') is a tree for pollinator gardens, specimen planting, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It grows at a rapid rate and forms a dense shape. Fragrant flowers open from early to late summer and draw butterflies and bees. The tree also tolerates drought and salt.
