Acacia
flexifolia is one of our top 10 favourite native plants. This
delightful small wattle has fine phyllodes that clasp the branches and lemon
yellow flowers. We regard this wattle as a herald of spring because it blooms
in late winter. The flowers are so dense that the foliage is hidden by the
mass of blooms. Acacia
flexifolia is native to Central New South Wales, Victoria and Southern
Queensland. This wattle is small enough to be accommodated in most gardens and
would be an interesting addition to native cottage gardens and rockeries.
Propagates readily from both seeds and cuttings. This is one of many small
wattles with great horticultural potential. See the Small
Acacia Project.
