This is a lovely wattle and our plant has a most unusual form. We noticed a wattle, weeping over a garden fence in Traralgon and collecte...Read Mored some seed when passing. The plant we grew did indeed weep. With some careful staking we managed to persuade it to grow to about 4 feet (its parent was 12 ft tall). Since attaining its lofty maximum height of 4 ft, it quickly got back to ground level and has since that spread steadily across the ground (well outside the bed it is planted in). It now reaches about 4 metres from the trunk. My picture shows it spreading across the lawn, with the trunk not visible, and well outside the picture. I have a few seed, but whether it would come true to form from seed is anybody's guess. It flowers in the autumn and has a long flowering season, when not much else is in flower. I just learned that there is a named cultivar 'Parsons Cascade', which matches our plant, but ours was grown from a parent that although weeping was certainly not 'Parsons Cascade'.
