Description

Low Boy Prostrate Acacia is the ultimate low-water, high-performance groundcover for sunny slopes and banks. This incredibly fast-spreading, flat-growing shrub forms a dense, weed-suppressing mat of soft blue-gray foliage, covered in cheerful yellow puffball flowers in late winter. It’s the perfect, living mulch to replace thirsty lawns in challenging dry areas.

• Forms a dense, weed-smothering, flat carpet (only 1-2 ft tall) that spreads rapidly to cover large areas, making it ideal for erosion control on slopes.

• Features attractive, soft, blue-gray foliage that provides year-round color and texture, even when not in bloom.

• Produces a profusion of bright yellow, fragrant puffball flowers in late winter to early spring, providing valuable early-season nectar for bees.

• Exceptionally drought, heat, and wind tolerant once established. Requires almost no maintenance—no mowing, very little water, and only occasional trimming to contain edges.

• A superior, low-fire-risk alternative to invasive ivy or water-intensive grass for large, sunny areas.
