One of the most popular Acacia in cultivation this quick-growing Acacia has bright green feathery foliage and prolific golden yellow flowers that occur in clusters on long racemes in late winter and spring providing a spectacular display.
The flowers are followed by long, wide seed pods about 50-100 mm long.
Easily grown in most temperate areas and suited to a range of soils provided it is reasonably free draining. Flowers are best in full sun, frost and drought tolerant.
Indigenous to New South Wales and Queensland.
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.
