Cootamundra Wattle Prostrate (Perfect for slopes and rockeries)

Acacia baileyana ‘Prostrata’ (Prostrate Cootamundra Wattle)

Acacia baileyana ‘Prostrata’ is a stunning low-growing Australian native prized for its cascading habit, finely divided silver-blue foliage and masses of fragrant golden-yellow flowers in late winter and spring. Forming a dense, spreading groundcover, it is ideal for embankments, retaining walls, rockeries and garden beds where its soft texture and brilliant seasonal colour can be fully appreciated. Hardy, drought tolerant and easy to grow, this versatile wattle brings year-round interest to both native and contemporary landscapes.

Growing Conditions

Acacia baileyana ‘Prostrata’ is an outstanding choice for covering large areas, spilling over retaining walls or softening hard landscape edges. Its dense growth helps suppress weeds and reduce soil erosion, while the nectar-rich flowers attract birds, bees and other beneficial pollinators. Once established it requires minimal care and performs exceptionally well in Australia’s varied climate, making it a reliable addition to low-maintenance gardens.
