Soft, flowing, and tougher than it looks. Acacia cognata, commonly known as Wattle, is known for its long, narrow foliage that falls in graceful green layers.
Native to southeastern Australia, this evergreen brings plenty of texture to the landscape without asking for much water. In fact, our qualified plant list classifies it as a low-water-use plant for this area. Its pale yellow flowers also provide pollen for visiting bees (bonus points!) 🐝
Good looks, low water needs, a little something for the pollinators, too. Wattle on down to our demonstration garden at 999 Rush Creek Place in Novato and see it for yourself!
