Dwarf Sticky Wattle 200MM

Acacia howittii 'Honey Bun'

I am Dwarf Sticky Wattle. My family originated from Eastern Australia.

Habit Shrub - Compact Dwarf Form

Plant family Fabaceae

I am a naturally compact and dense wattle with a rounded form without trimming. I am fast growing and particularly hardy. I am tolerant of a broad range of soils including limey/alkaline and heavy clay. My foliage is slightly aromatic. I am useful in erosion control, for low screening and playground friendly. I cover myself in small round yellow blooms during spring. My rounded form is a great way to add a formal character to a low maintenance garden or plant me in a row to create a low maintenance hedge.

I am popular and will make you happy because...

I naturally develop a dense rounded form making me a good low maintenance screening option

I produce small yellow ball shaped flowers in spring

I have lightly scented foliage
