Acacia Sterling Silver - 20cm Pot

Acacia ‘Sterling Silver’ is a compact, mounding Australian native shrub prized for its soft silver-green foliage and seasonal bursts of colour. Its dense, rounded habit creates a striking contrast in the garden, making it an excellent choice for adding texture and brightness to planting schemes.

In spring, Sterling Silver produces clusters of cheerful yellow flowers that attract bees and beneficial insects, while the developing seed pods can draw in seed-eating birds such as rosellas, adding life and movement to the garden.

Fast growing and low maintenance, this variety is well suited to a range of conditions and is particularly effective in coastal gardens where well-drained soil is available.

Care & Growing Tips
Plant in full sun in well-drained soil for best performance. This variety is drought tolerant once established, making it suitable for waterwise and low-maintenance gardens. For best results, plant in spring or early autumn to allow time for strong root establishment.

A light prune after flowering will help maintain a dense, compact shape and prevent the plant from becoming leggy over time.

– Feature planting in garden beds
– Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant landscapes
