Acacia redolens
Description:
This fast-growing plant is used as a ground cover or border plant and is excellent for erosion control. It is often planted along roads and in medians. Drought resistance makes it a good choice for low-water landscaping.
Many other members of the Acacia genus are commonly grown, but they tend to grow as upright trees or shrubs.
This plant is heat and drought resistant and requires minimal upkeep. As a border plant, it can be pruned occasionally for a more formal, controlled look or left to grow naturally. Hardy to 18 degrees F. Withstands desert heat.
