An attractive spreading shrub 2-3m high or tree to 6m high with long silvery-grey thin needle-like phyllodes (leaves) and golden flowers from Jul to December.

Occurs over a large range in mallee and woodland country in southern Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland.

A species from the drier inland areas of Australia that is adaptable to a range of soils and conditions including both light and heavy soils. Full sun to part shade but will flower more profusely 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.
