Acacia Mearnsii
In stock
Description
This attractive, hardy, small native Australian tree bears sprays of very delicate feather-like bipinnate foliage and impressive heads of countless fluffy, very fragrant, creamy-yellow blossoms. Although it can grow very large in New Zealand and Australia, it rarely grows to any exceptional size in the UK and colder countries. It is often cultivated for tannin in New Zealand, East Africa, India, Sri Lanka, parts of Central America, southern Europe and Indonesia.
Sowing Advice
Seeds have already been thoroughly cleaned and cold-stored for several months. Sow into well-drained, sandy compost at any time of year, cover to their own depth with sand or grit. No artificial heat is needed; seed tray is best left in a cool protected spot and kept moist. Seeds usually germinate in spring, regardless of when sown.
