Acacia willdenowiana - Wattle Grass
Acacia willdenowiana – Wattle Grass

Wattle Grass

One of the more unusual Acacias, and an interesting species, Acacia willdenowiana is commonly known as Wattle Grass. Although it does look a little like grass, the plant itself does form a woody base over time and is certainly not a species suitable for foot traffic.

It gets the common name from the modified leaves that do appear grass like.  With a natural low growing habit, this little plant will flower with typical yellow wattle like balls in winter to spring.

Care

This is a species that is best grown in an open position in full sun, and in a well drained soil. It makes an interesting addition to a native garden planting, or as a feature in the general garden border.

When planting consider mounding up, the soil to improve drainage in wet soils.

Pruning

Generally not required
