This shrub belongs to the Fabaceae family and is prized for its ornamental qualities, making it a popular choice for gardens, landscapes, and containers.
Common Name: Lime Magik Wattle

Mature Width (meters): Spreads to approximately 1-2 meters, creating a full and cascading canopy.
Spacing: Plant with adequate spacing to allow for the shrub's mature size and to showcase its graceful form.
Leaves: The most distinctive feature of Acacia cognata 'Lime Magik' is its pendulous and finely textured lime-green foliage that provides year-round interest. The leaves are linear in shape and create a cascading and soft appearance.
Flowers: Inconspicuous yellow flowers may appear in late winter to spring, adding subtle charm to the shrub. However, it is primarily grown for its foliage.

Uses: Ideal for use as a feature shrub in gardens, as a container plant, or for creating a unique and graceful focal point in landscapes. Its pendulous foliage and weeping habit make it stand out in various settings.
Sun: Thrives in full sun to partial shade, with the best foliage coloration occurring in full sun.
Maintenance: Low maintenance; minimal pruning is required to maintain its natural form, and dead or damaged branches can be removed as needed.
Water Requirement: Lime Magik Wattle is tolerant of drought once established, but regular watering is recommended, especially during dry spells, to promote healthy growth.

Planting Your Acacia cognata 'Lime Magik': Ensuring A Strong Start
Watering Requirements After Planting
When you plant a new tree, it's crucial to give it the right start by ensuring it receives sufficient water. Here’s a general guideline for watering your newly planted tree:
- Immediately After Planting: Water your tree generously right after planting your Acacia cognata 'Lime Magik' to settle the soil around the roots and eliminate any air pockets.
- First Three Months: The initial three months are critical for the establishment of the tree. During this period, the tree should be hand watered twice daily, in the morning and evening. This helps the roots grow deep and strong.
- Irrigation System: If you have an irrigation system, adjust it to ensure the tree gets adequate water during these first months.
- Adjusting to Weather Conditions: Always consider the weather conditions and adjust your watering accordingly. In hotter and drier periods, additional watering may be necessary.
Consistent attention to your tree’s watering needs during this initial period will help ensure its healthy growth and long-term success in your garden.
