I am a beautiful and hardy weeping large shrub with gorgeous dense lime green foliage with hints of red in the leaf tips.
I am widely considered the original and the best dwarf Acacia cognata.
My attractive lush foliage and compact habit makes me a great addition to any garden, rockery, container and I work well in large scale landscape design.
I look fantastic all year with my lime green foliage creating beautiful contrast.
Fast growing I make a great screening hedge or wind break plant. Plant me in a row at 60cm centres to create a low and zero maintenance hedge.
I have great natural form and generally do not need pruning howerver I can be cut back hard if I grow larger than desired.
I tolerate a range of soil types including heavy clay.

Tips for success
I can be pruned to maintain a smaller size. I respond well to the occasional hard cut back
Plant at least 0.6m apart.
Choose a full sun to partly shaded position.
Once established, check soil moisture and water during extended dry periods.
Choose whether you are planting in the garden or a pot to receive guidance built from this plant's light, water, habit and use information.
