Known as river wattle or narrow-leaf bower wattle, this is a graceful shrub from New South Wales, Australia. With cascades of long narrow petals, it resembles a miniature weeping willow. It could make a nice lawn specimen in California, but in northern climes is best suited to a conservatory or a container. It needs full sun to partial shade, with low humidity and well-drained soil that is kept on the dry side. It produces sprays of small, spherical flowers with numerous stamens. COUSIN ITT™ is a dwarf cultivar that will only grow two to three feet high.
