			Information Guide
			Acacia cognata Mini Cog is a hardy low maintenance small to medium shrub with attractive foliage and habit; it is adaptable to cope with dry conditions and light frosts. Once mature Mini Cog may show a light sprinkling of soft pale-yellow ball flowers in late winter to early spring (this plant is not a prolific flowerer). This outstanding performing dwarf form of Acacia cognata has been highly recommended by the Retail and Landscape industry. Other dwarf forms of Acacia cognata's in the market include: Acacia Curvaceous, Acacia Dazzler, Acacia Fettuccine, Acacia Green Mist, Acacia Limelight, Acacia Waterfall and in the US Acacia Mini Cog is marketed under the name of Acacia Cousin It. The dwarf forms listed of Acacia cognata can be mixed planted to create textural variations in the landscape.
		
			Soil PH Conditions
			Soil pH: 6.4 to 7.5 - Soil preparation: Soil can range from quite acid to alkaline in pH levels, it is important to have good soil preparation to gain the best results when planting natives. This improves the water-holding capacity of the soil and for young plants, once established, will have lower water requirements.
		
			Water Recommendations
			Grows well in both shade and full sun. It is adaptable to most well drained soils and is a versatile plant. Once this plant is established it will tolerate dry and light frost conditions, but over long periods of dry will require watering.
		
			Fertiliser Recommendations
			This plant requires little maintenance and it is best to initially feed with a slow release low phosphorus fertiliser to help first establish the plant. It is beneficial to follow up with the occasional reapplication of fertiliser and apply as required. Mulching around the base of the plant will help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
