  Acacia aculimatissima - snake wattle

This is an easy care, low growing wattle, with fine foliage forming a dense groundcovering mat. It bears yellow ball flowers in late winter to early spring. It grows to around a metre wide, and from groundcovering to a metre tall. Great for coastal gardens, as well as being frost and drought tolerant. Suits full sun to lightly shaded spots. Good for most soil types as long as they are well drained. Prune lightly if needed to keep compact. Feed with a good low phosphorus native fertiliser in spring.
