Often used as a feature plant for its spectacular foliage the flowers form as golden balls 2cm in diameter and appear most of the year.
The large phyllodes (leaves) grow to 30cm long and 20cm in width, hence the name Elephant ears wattle.

A spectacular foliage plant but cold sensitive. Good drainage and a sunny position are recommended.

Occurs naturally in the top end of Western Australia and the Northern Territory.

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.
