PLANT PROFILE
Acacia ‘Curvaceous’ is a new, compact and bushy form of Acacia cognata with fine, lime-mid green, weeping foliage.

In warmer climates it can be planted on mass in a landscape situation which creates a stunning effect.

The foliage is tight in habit with the soft foliage holding deep into the centre of the plant which forms a full rounded pot specimen unlike some other A. cognata forms currently available.

Mostly evergreen trees or shrubs, Acacias (more commonly known as 'Wattles') are generally fast growing and have found favour as a popular landscaping plant amongst Australian gardeners.

Acacia 'Curvaceous' is a highly ornamental evergreen shrub which is simply superb when grown as specimen, in a pot or planter on the deck or patio. It also adds a fantastic soft touch to any landscape.

• Can be mass planted as well as for garden or tub specimen

• Small Gardens, patios and courtyards

• Year round interest for general garden use

• Native, exotic, oriental or tropical style garden designs
CULTURAL CARE
Water requirements are very low once established needing only occasional deep watering during extended periods of heat.

Plant in most soil types that are well draining.

Pruning generally not required.

Feed in spring with a slow release fertiliser formulated for natives for best results - more frequently if in containers - follow instructions provided by manufacturers of fertiliser.
