Acacia cultriformis - Knife Leaf Wattle

Acacia cultriformis (Knife-leaf Wattle)

Acacia cultriformis is a compact, ornamental shrub native to eastern Australia, valued in home gardens for its distinctive blue-grey, knife-shaped foliage and profuse bright yellow flower clusters. Flowering from late winter through spring, it provides strong seasonal colour and attracts beneficial insects.

Hardy and adaptable, Knife-leaf Wattle performs well in free-draining soils and tolerates dry conditions once established. Its naturally tidy form makes it well suited to feature planting, screening, or mixed native garden designs.
