Acacia Mop Top™ PBR

A low mounding dense shrub (60 - 90cm x 90cm - 1.2m) with aromatic foliage, plum-coloured new growth, and bright yellow perfumed flowers in spring, enticing small insect feeders such as wrens and thornbills to dart amongst the soft foliage. It grows well in temperate to sub tropical and arid climates, in moist clay or sandy loams, neutral to acid pH. It likes full sun or light shade, tolerates medium frosts, and is suitable for near coastal gardens. 

Uses: create soft low hedging along pathways; plant in massed formation on banks or in wide garden beds where impact is required; use as dramatic accent container plant for courtyard or patio. 

Maintenance: An 'easy care' plant, Mop Top requires only minimal but regular tip pruning to promote density; feed with controlled release low phosphorus fertilizer in late summer or early spring. If container grown, use best quality free-draining potting medium, do not over water.

A real 'Mop Top' in a container ... run your fingers through its 'hair'!

A stunning landscape accent plant, hardy in a wide range of conditions.

Mop Top PBR develops into a rounded, easy-care mound, rather like a soft furry animal, and suits a wide range of garden and landscape situations.
