Commonly known as dagger wattle Acacia siculiformis is an upright shrub with a stiff stem and glossy dark green phyllodes (leaves) 2.5 cm long with a prominent central rib tapering to a sharp point. The attractive spherical yellow flower heads around 6-7 mm in diameter occur solitary on short stalks from the leaf axils prolifically during spring and summer.
Occurs naturally in South Eastern Australian states of New South Wales, Tasmania, and Victoria.
Classified rare under the Threatened Species Protection Act 1995.
Prefers light to medium soils in a moist protected semi-shaded position. Frost and drought resistant.
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.
