This Acacia also holds an RHS award of garden merit and is extremely easy to grow with very little maintenance required in order to gain excellent results. Plants become hardier with maturity and can tolerate temperatures of -10°C. In mild areas of the UK they may be planted outdoors in rich fertile, non-alkaline soil with good drainage, once they are well grown. Gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days prior to planting. Choose a very sheltered position in full sun - ideally against a south facing wall. In frost prone areas, grow in large patio containers of loam based compost such as John Innes No. 2 that can be moved to a conservatory or greenhouse during winter.
