Characteristics: Small spreading tree to 3-6 m

The new fine feathery foliage of this attractive Acacia is a dramatic lavender to purple shade that turns blue-grey with age. Masses of fragrant golden yellow flower clusters occur in late winter.
Widely used as a garden feature or shade tree, when in full bloom it is a spectacular sight with the flowers covering the whole tree. Fast-growing short trunk and arching branches. Tolerates frost and drought.
Easily grown in most temperate areas and suited to a range of soils provided it is reasonably free draining. Flowers best in full sun, frost and drought tolerant.
For best results, sow the seeds in spring or early summer. Sowings in autumn and winter may result in slow germination, weaker seedlings, or germination failure.
- soak in water for 24-48 hours.
- Next, soak seeds in near boiling water overnight to help soften the tough exterior and improve germination.
- Sow the seeds to a depth equal to the seed's width.
Germination: Typically occurs within two weeks.
Please note:
- Please do not be too hasty to discard seeds that do not germinate; seeds will often lay dormant until the conditions are similar to their natural germination requirements.
- As with all seeds, they must have adequate water to germinate, keep them moist but not too wet.
- These growth notes are provided as guidance only and do not guarantee successful germination.
- The customer should do their due diligence that they are suited to their region.
