Mimosa

A small to medium growing evergreen tree, Acacia dealbata is relatively fast growing and has grey-green fern-like foliage and fluffy fragrant yellow flowers in Winter and Spring. The Silver Wattle will grow well in neutral to acid, well drained soil in a sheltered spot. This acacia makes a great splash of colour in late Winter. Bees will appreciate the nectar-rich flowers.
