There are over 1200 species of acacia occurring in Australia, making it the largest genus of flowering plants in Australia.
Acacia acinacea is a bushy or straggling, open shrub that typically grows to a height of around 2.5 metres.
An attractive small shrub that produces masses of bright yellow flowers that cover the whole shrub during the flowering season.
The Gold Dust Wattle blooms prolifically between July and November, producing one or two spherical, small, golden-yellow flower balls in each leaf axil, 4 to 4.5 millimetres in diameter, containing 8 to 20 golden-yellow flowers.
As with all Acacia, they do not have true leaves; they have phyllodes.
The phyllodes are asymmetric, narrowly oblong to lance-shaped or egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, 4-15 millimetres long and 2 to 8 millimetres wide. There is a small point on the end of the phyllodes, off-set from the tip.
Occurring naturally in South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales.
Will tolerate many different soils as long as it is well drained and non-saline. Full sun to part shade although flowering will be more profuse in full sun.
