Small mounding shrub with medium lime-green evergreen foliage.  Very versitile plant that can be grown in sun or shade, drought tolerant, and deer resistant.  Also does well in coastal conditions.  Small insignificant yellow flowers appear in Spring, but this plant is used for it's fine billowing texture in the garden.  Acacia 'Cousin It' will get only about 2 feet tall but reaches up to 5 or 6 feet wide, so give this plenty of room to spread when placing.  Give ample water to establish plant, then irrigate only occasionally.  Make sure to provide well-drained soil conditions.  Acacia 'Cousin It' is sometimes refered to as 'Mini Cog'.  Native to Australia.  Hardy to 25 deg. F.
