Description
Acacia cognata ‘Limelight’ is a stunning Australian native shrub admired for its soft, cascading lime-green foliage and naturally compact, rounded habit. Unlike many wattles, it is grown primarily for its beautiful foliage rather than its flowers.

It is ideal for borders, mass plantings, containers and modern landscape designs.
