Irresistibly shaggy, Acacia cognata 'Fettuccini' (common name - river wattle) is a tactile Aussie native plant that is easy to grow and care for (if a little pricey ๐
).
๐ Sun-loving (and also happy in semi-shaded situations) drought-tolerant, and perfect for adding textural interest, acacia shrubs are worthy of a spot in your garden. Acacia are also very well suited to growing in pots, which is a great idea if you have dogs, as they do seem susceptible to urine burn ๐ถ๐ญ
๐ฟThey have gorgeous lime green foliage year-round. The new seasons growth has cattractive coppery tones, before it matures to the fresh lime-green colour.
๐คThe only other problem is which one to chooseโฆ
โFettuccini' has wider, more heavily rippled foliage than the fine, soft foliage of โLimelightโ.
๐POV - You canโt go wrong with either.
