Acacia cognata Waterfall™ Standards

Acacia cognata ‘Waterfall™’ Standards is an elegant, grafted Australian native tree with cascading, fine, lime-green foliage that creates a striking weeping effect. Growing on a standard trunk, it forms a lush, dome-like canopy, making it a perfect feature plant for gardens, courtyards, or large containers. In late winter to early spring, it produces small, soft yellow flowers, adding seasonal interest.

To grow Waterfall™ Standards in Australia, plant in full sun to part shade with well-drained soil. It thrives in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, and Brisbane, tolerating light frost and drought once established. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce watering for a low-maintenance plant. Minimal pruning is needed, but removing shoots below the graft encourages a neat shape. Use a native plant fertilizer in spring to support healthy growth. Hardy and visually stunning, Waterfall™ Standards bring year-round softness and movement to landscapes.
