Use a coarse mulch kept well clear of the crown, avoid phosphorus-rich fertiliser, and give it an annual light trim after flowering to keep it dense. Treat it as a shorter-lived plant of roughly five to ten years.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003ePlant Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 to 1m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 to 2m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fast\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evergreen\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to light part shade\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNative to:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eastern Victoria and southern New South Wales (species)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pale lemon yellow\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nursery Direct","offers":[{"title":"400mm","offer_id":59795344228638,"sku":"ND-0008-400MM","price":1000.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/2536\/8862\/files\/VB9XEORwIJWa7zwma6A2g_cj8qJz9h.jpg?v=1787313784","url":"https:\/\/nurserydirect.com.au\/products\/acacia-cognata-waterfall","provider":"Nursery Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
