Acacia Cascade™
A dense
groundcover or cascading plant with arching or weeping stems,
30cm high and spreading 2-4 metres, with neatly arranged
silver-grey foliage covered in clusters
of golden flowers in spring. Small insect-eating birds such as
wrens and thornbills will probe amongst the flowers for food.
It grows in cool temperate to sub tropical and semi arid
climates, thrives in full sun or light shade, and does well in
moist, well drained clay to sandy loams; tolerates heavy
frost, and is suitable for second line coastal situations.
Uses: spectacular as a curtain, cascading from tall
timber planter boxes, free-standing pipes, over walls and down
banks; can also be planted as a dramatic carpet.
Maintenance: will retain a dense shape naturally, but
stems may be trimmed after flowering or in late summer to keep
the ends neat. Feed in early spring or late summer with low
phosphorus controlled release fertilizer. If planted in
containers, use best quality potting mix, keep moist but not
wet.
