  • Notes

One of the showiest acacias for western gardens. It usually grows to 15' in height, with a compact, dense habit, and it is one of the first plants to flower, blooming heavily in late winter. It has soft textured leaves that are usually purple/green. It is very drought tolerant and comes from Eastern Australia.
