Decorative rippled foliage
- Give your garden a modern edge
- Low growing mounding habit
- Dry tolerant once established
Acacia 'Fettuccini' is an outstanding form of Acacia cognata offering a unique twist on foliage texture. Fettuccini' has extremely decorative rippled, lime green foliage right throughout the year. The new growth bursts into coppery tones before morphing to the fresh lime green colour. This variety will provide a modern edge to any landscape. An easy to grow and care for Australian native - it has become the choice of the modern gardener looking for textural interest. Grows to around 75 x 100-120cm.
Care
Water requirements are quite low once established requiring only occasional deep watering during extended periods of heat. Best grown well drained soils in full sun to part shade. Pruning generally not required. Feed in spring with a native formulated fertiliser for best results. Will tolerate light frost.
Suggested uses
- Effective in mass plantings and for low hedging due to its compact bushy habit
