Acacia Cognata ‘Limelight’ is a compact Australian native shrub prized for its soft, fine lime-green foliage and graceful weeping habit. Growing to around 0.6–1 m high and up to 1 m wide, it forms a naturally rounded, dense shape that provides year-round colour and texture. Small yellow, ball-shaped flowers may appear in spring, adding seasonal interest.
A versatile, low-maintenance choice, Acacia Cognata ‘Limelight’ is ideal for garden beds, borders, rockeries, containers and mass planting. Once established, it is relatively drought tolerant and requires little pruning, making it an easy way to add bright foliage and soft movement to both native and contemporary gardens.
