Acacia cognata 'Limelight' (Limelight Wattle)

Limelight Wattle is an outstanding Australian native shrub renowned for its soft, cascading lime-green foliage and naturally compact, weeping habit. Its vibrant year-round foliage adds texture, movement, and colour to the landscape, making it an ideal choice for modern gardens, native plantings, borders, rockeries, and decorative containers. Unlike many wattles, it is grown primarily for its beautiful foliage, with small pale yellow flowers providing a subtle seasonal display.

Highly adaptable and easy to maintain, Limelight Wattle thrives in full sun to partial shade and performs well in a wide range of well-drained soils. Drought tolerant once established, it is an excellent choice for low-maintenance and water-wise gardens. Whether planted as a feature specimen, mass planted for dramatic effect, or used to soften hard landscaping, this elegant native shrub delivers year-round beauty with minimal care.
