Acacia howittii ‘Honey Bun’ 

A wonderfully compact, bushy, evergreen shrub with small rounded deep green leaves. In Spring the foliage is covered in small pale-yellow, globed flowers which are both bee and butterfly attracting. Best grown in well-draining soil as it dislikes having its roots sitting in water for long periods of time. This Acacia has low water requirements once established making it ideal for water-wise garden designs. Best used for potted displays or as an informal low growing hedge.

Planting Tips: 
When planting Australian natives they don’t require too much work to get them settled. Fertiliser Australian native plants in the prime growing seasons, Spring and early Autumn for the best results. However, make sure to use the right food. Almost all natives dislike soils and food with high phosphorus levels, therefore when fertilising these plants make sure to use a fertiliser made especially for them with phosphorus (P) level of 3% or less.

If planting into a pot make sure that the container chosen is large enough for the plant being planted. Never pot a plant into a container which is too small. Make sure to use a premium quality Australian Native Potting Mix as this has the correct balance of wetting agents and nutrients required for having a healthy plant.
