Acacia 'Limelight'
Acacia 'Limelight' is a shrub grown for its attractive foliage and form. It has soft, weeping, lime-green foliage, which is held on stems to give the appearance of a spreading mound. In spring, small, pale yellow, ball-shaped flowers are borne amidst the foliage as it grows to 70 cm tall and 1 m wide. Acacia 'Limelight' is often used as an informal hedge, grown in a container, or added to mixed plantings. It looks outstanding when mass planted and allowed to spill over walls, paths, and the like, or when used as a specimen.
