Acacia dealbata SEEDS

Acacia dealbata seeds grow into one of the most ornamentally spectacular of all wattles the silver wattle, a fast-growing shrub or tree native to the temperate biome of south-eastern Australia, including Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania and the ACT. One of the most widely cultivated Australian trees outside its native country, it is celebrated for its brilliant, powder-puff clusters of golden-yellow flowers that smother the silver-blue-green bipinnate foliage in late winter and early spring, creating one of the most dazzling floral displays of the season. The finely divided, silvery-glaucous leaves and attractive grey bark give it year-round ornamental value. Family Fabaceae.

Acacia dealbata is fast-growing, drought-tolerant once established, and adaptable to a wide range of soils including poor, acidic ones. It performs best in full sun with good drainage. In mild-winter climates it can reach 1015 m in height; it is also widely used for cut flower production and the flowers are the traditional ‘mimosa’ of florists.
