Why Choose Acacia 'Limelight'?

Acacia 'Limelight', a cultivar of Acacia cognata, is prized for its fine, arching foliage that catches the light and glows in almost any setting. Its compact growth habit (typically reaching just 1 metre high and wide) makes it perfect for small gardens or as a designer statement in containers. Hardy, drought-tolerant, and easy to maintain, Acacia 'Limelight' thrives in free-draining soil and in full sun to part shade, offering striking evergreen colour and texture with minimal fuss.

Perfect Uses for Acacia Trees

The versatility of Acacia 'Limelight' is unmatched. Plant it as a low hedge along paths or driveways, use it to soften hard landscaping, or dot several throughout mixed perennial beds for refreshing colour contrast. For a stunning combination, pair Acacia 'Limelight' with companions such as Hebe Catherine or Azalea Little Girl, both of which complement the unique form and foliage of this acacia. In coastal or exposed gardens, Acacia 'Limelight' performs remarkably well, holding its form and colour even in tough conditions.

Growing and Caring for Acacia 'Limelight'

Finding an Acacia tree for sale is the first step; caring for it is refreshingly simple. Choose a location with well-draining soil and avoid waterlogged spots, as acacias dislike soggy roots. Water thoroughly until established, then reduce irrigation – this hardy shrub can tolerate dry spells once mature. Light pruning will maintain the desired shape, and a slow-release native fertiliser in spring will prompt fresh new growth.
