Minimum order quantity for this plant in 14cm and 20cm pots is 3 units

Acacia binervia Sterling Silver is a striking evergreen native shrub valued for its soft silver-grey foliage and graceful, arching habit. It produces masses of pale cream to light yellow flower spikes from late winter into spring, attracting birds and pollinators. This hardy wattle typically grows 2–4 metres high and around 2–3 metres wide, making it ideal as a screening plant, feature shrub, or informal hedge in Australian gardens. Its shimmering foliage contrasts beautifully with darker green plants and coastal-style landscapes.

This adaptable acacia grows best in full sun to light shade and prefers well-drained soil. Once established it is drought tolerant and suited to a wide range of Australian climates, including coastal and inland regions. Water regularly during establishment, then only during prolonged dry periods. Avoid heavy clay or waterlogged soils, as poor drainage may shorten its lifespan. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain a dense, tidy shape and encourages fresh silvery growth. Applying a low-phosphorus native fertiliser in spring can support healthy growth.

Suitable companion plants include Westringia fruticosa Variegated for contrasting foliage, Callistemon Red Alert for vibrant red flowers, and Liriope Pink Pearl as a soft edging plant beneath the shrub canopy.
