Acacia cognata Dwarf Nano

Acacia cognata Dwarf Nano  is a compact, low-maintenance shrub valued for its dense, cascading foliage in soft lime-green tones. This Australian native adds texture and elegance to gardens, perfect for borders, rockeries, or containers. Growing to about 50 cm tall and wide, it provides year-round interest with its fine, weeping leaves.

To grow 'Dwarf Nano,' plant it in a sunny to partially shaded position with well-drained soil. It tolerates drought and light frost once established, making it ideal for Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane gardens. Water moderately during dry periods and avoid overwatering. Prune lightly to maintain its shape, and apply a native plant fertilizer in spring. Its compact form and graceful foliage make it a standout feature in any landscape.

Acacia cognata 'Dwarf Nano' pairs beautifully with contrasting textures and colors. Excellent companions include dwarf grasses like Lomandra 'Tanika,' purple-toned plants like Loropetalum, and flowering natives such as Grevillea 'Royal Mantle.' Groundcovers like Myoporum parvifolium or cascading Dichondra 'Silver Falls' enhance its soft, weeping form in garden designs.
