Acacia denticulosa | Sandpaper Wattle

Acacia denticulosa, or Sandpaper wattle, because of it's slightly twisted, sandpaper-like textured foliage. It is also known for its yellow flowers, which are many small flowers arranged in a curved rod-like inflorescence about 6cm long.  Flowering occurs in spring, (even after the first year of growing),which attract pollinators such as bees, butterflies and birds to your garden.

It's fast growing up to 3 metres, fixes nitrogen in your soil, tolerates partial shade but prefers full-sun and is drought tolerant.

Acacia denticulosa is an unusual acacia which is threatened in the wild, but with a growing interest from native gardeners it's been seen in local gardens.
