Acacia dealbata, commonly known as Silver Wattle or Mimosa, is a striking evergreen shrub or small tree that brings charm and architectural elegance to any garden. Renowned for its rapid growth, this plant features a high canopy adorned with finely divided blue-green to silver-gray leaves, each spanning 3-5 inches long. Its foliage captivates all year, but it truly dazzles from late winter to early spring when it bursts into bloom. The branches become adorned with abundant racemes of fragrant, fluffy, yellow, ball-shaped flowers, adding a vibrant splash of color to the garden. Silver Wattle is distinguished by its smooth gray-green to dark gray bark, which becomes attractively fissured with age. This hardy species, native to Tasmania, Australia, can reach an impressive 40-50 feet in height and width. Acacia dealbata thrives in full sun and well-drained, neutral to acidic soils, making it an excellent choice for city, Mediterranean, or cottage gardens. Prized for cut flowers, it’s a favorite in the floral industry and deer resistant, bringing beauty and resilience to your garden landscape.
