Creeping Acacia
CREEPING ACACIA
Acacia Redolens

Creeping Acacia is a sprawling, prostate ground cover/shrub. If you are looking to cover a large amount of landscape space, this should be one of the plants at the top of your list. This evergreen shrub grows at a width of 10 to 20 feet, and a height of 4 to 6 feet. In lower elevation deserts, Creeping Acacia may do better on the eastern side of the landscape, or in partial shade to help it from burning in the afternoon sun.
