Height: 70cm Spread: 1m Growing Conditions: Full Sun Full Sun/Part Shade Dry Frost Hardy (Below 1c) Common Name: Pronunciation: ah-kay-she-ah Variety Profile Acacia cognata is an Australian native wattle which in the wild forms a small weeping tree but using its genetic attributes the clever breeders at Native Plant Wholesalers in South Australia have selected an extremely compact, ornamental form ideal for contemporary home gardens with small spaces. Producing a mature shrub of less than 1m x 1m the habit is weeping exhibiting a lovely, mounded mass of fine weeping foliage that makes onlookers want to reach forth and give it a stroke. Its soft, lush appearance lends a relaxing and refreshing ambience to entertainment areas where it can be grown successfully in large tubs for paved areas. Once established this exceptional shrub requires little maintenance and no pruning. Dry tolerant and reasonably fast growing once the root system has established making it ideal for low maintenance areas including mass planting over difficult sites. Lovers of native plants and exotics alike will find A. 'Curvaceous' a plant worthy of a feature spot in their landscape. Cultural Care Plant in most soil types that is well draining in full sun to light shade areas. Pruning generally not required. Feed in spring with a slow release fertiliser for best results - more frequently if in containers - follow instructions provided by manufacturers of fertiliser. Once established - usually after first year, this acacia is very dry tolerant requiring little additional watering other than natural rainfall although an occasional deep watering during extended dry periods would be recommended. Plant Uses Subtle yet engaging specimen plant in mixed borders, A. 'Curvaceous' offers year round interest with its lovely evergreen prescensce. When planted along retaining walls or embankments the weeping foliage will fall to soften hard edges. Plant as a specimen (feature plant) in small gardens or in large tubs for patios, decks and other hard surfaced areas. Versatile appearance makes it ideal for use in a number of landscape styles including native, exotic, oriental or tropical garden designs
