Acacia cyclops takes its name from its large black seed that is surrounded by a bright red tissue.
A dense bushy shrub often with multiple stems or a small tree with a rounded leaf canopy. The canopy is made up of light green, narrow phyllodes (leaves) which have a shiny appearance when young and growing in a slightly downturned fashion.

Yellow round ball-shaped flowers appear in spring with pod maturing in summer.

Endemic to the south of Western Australia.

Naturally occurring mostly on coastal sand dunes the species is ideally suited to poor sandy soils and exposed positions. Often used to stabilise soils, drought tolerant. Flowers are best in full sun.

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.

  1.  soak in water for 24-48 hours.
  2. Next, soak seeds in near boiling water overnight to help soften the tough exterior and improve germination.
  3. 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.
