Honey Bun Sticky Wattle (Acacia howittii 'Honey Bun')

All the charm of a weeping wattle, shrunk to fit any garden. Honey Bun is a dwarf form of the sticky wattle with soft, gently weeping deep green foliage and a flush of pale lemon flower balls in spring. It clips beautifully, making it one of the best small native hedges available.

🌱 Why Gardeners Love Honey Bun Sticky Wattle

✔ Compact Weeping Form - a soft, dense mound to around 1m tall and wide.

✔ Spring Wattle Flowers - pale lemon-yellow ball blossoms in late winter and spring.

✔ Lush Aromatic Foliage - slightly sticky, fresh-scented leaves that stay dense to the ground.

✔ Clips Superbly - shears into neat native hedges and mounds.

✔ Bird & Insect Friendly - pollen for bees, dense shelter for small birds.

🏡 How to Use Honey Bun Sticky Wattle in Your Garden

✅ Low Native Hedges - a soft weeping alternative to clipped exotics.

✅ Feature Mound - a graceful specimen in native and Japanese-style gardens.

✅ Tubs & Large Pots - its compact roots and weeping habit suit containers.

✅ Mass Planting - repeated mounds give texture to big beds and verges.

Easy Planting & Care Guide

  • Position: Full sun to part shade in temperate climates; tolerates frost and dry spells once established.
  • Spacing: Plant 60-80cm apart for a continuous low hedge.
  • Best Planting Time: Autumn or spring.
  • Watering & Care: Water through the first summer, then it is quite drought hardy. Trim after flowering to keep the hedge tight; minimal feeding required.

❔ FAQs About Honey Bun Sticky Wattle

Why is it called a sticky wattle?
The young foliage of Acacia howittii has a slightly sticky, resinous coating with a pleasant fresh fragrance - one of its most distinctive features.

Can I hedge it?
Yes, that is what it does best. Our packs of 6, 10 and 3 (larger pots) suit hedge runs planted 60-80cm apart, trimmed once or twice a year.

Is it a small tree like other wattles?
No - Honey Bun is a true dwarf selection that stays a compact shrub, unlike the parent species which grows into a tall weeping tree.
