Acacia Green Mist
I was most excited when I discovered this plant in a nursery last week because here is a plant with a totally different form.
It is a natural weeper with a profusion of slender branches clothed with long fine lime green leaves. It reminded me of a weeping Maple and being an evergreen I became excited by its landscape potential.
Acacias are Wattles so this shrub is tolerant of dry soils and prefers to grow in full sun or part shade. I could see it used to cascade over rocks in an arid planting or over water in a lush one.
Acacia Green Mist will eventually grow 1m high by 1.5 ms wide. It grows in layers to form a tiered effect and would fit in perfectly with oriental gardens.
A handful of lemon fluffy balls are produced in spring but the fresh green leaves are stunning through all seasons.
Consider growing this Weeper in a tall pot to allow for the cascading branches to make an entry statement.
