Minimum order quantity for this plant in 14cm pots is 3 units Acacia Limelight is an improved dwarf form of Acacia cognata, bred to deliver the same soft weeping habit in a more co mpact, garden friendly size. It has become a mainstay of Australian native gardens and is a firm favourite among professional garden designers and landscapers, largely thanks to its near perfect rounded shape and low fuss nature. Unlike some newer native cultivars, Acacia Limelight has proven disease resistant and well suited to typical Australian growing conditions. It forms a small, weeping, rounded shrub that reaches around 1 metre in height and width, with fine, narrow, lime green foliage that holds its colour through the seasons. Flowering is minimal, which keeps the plant tidy and low maintenance rather than showy. The shrub prefers well drained soil and should not be over fertilised, as it can be sensitive to phosphorous rich plant food. For best results, feed only during spring with a slow release fertiliser formulated for native plants. At maturity this variety grows to around 1 metre in both height and width, suiting full sun to part shade positions. It is drought tolerant once established, requires only light pruning to maintain its natural rounded shape, and performs particularly well on sloped sites where its weeping form can spill over garden edges. It also pairs beautifully with other native shrubs for textural contrast, and works equally well in garden beds, as a low hedge, or as a feature plant in a container.
