Description

Pearl Acacia is a shimmering silver-gray shrub or small tree, celebrated for its stunning, pearl-like foliage that catches the light. Its soft, oval leaves are covered in fine hairs, giving it a luminous, frosted appearance. It’s a tough, drought-tolerant plant that adds sophisticated, cool-toned contrast to the landscape and is excellent for cut foliage.

Grown primarily for its breathtaking, silvery-gray, oval foliage that has a soft, velvety texture and a pearlescent sheen.
Provides excellent contrast against darker green plants or warm-colored structures. Foliage is highly prized for floral arrangements.
Produces complementary bright yellow puffball flowers in late winter to spring.
Very drought and heat tolerant, thriving in full sun with good drainage. Can be pruned as a large shrub or small tree.
