This is a great form of the more common Acacia with wonderful purple leaves. It will have the sweetly scented yellow flowers as well to produce are nice year round plant. This is great in sheltered coastal areas and will stand out well in the garden. Will grow to 2m (6') in about five years. Well worth a go.
