Acacia chinchillensis

 

Location

In the wild it is restricted to the Darling Downs district in Queensland where it is common in sandy soils around Chinchilla.

You can see it flowering in many beds in the Wattle Garden now.

A stunning dwarf to medium spreading shrub. The bright yellow flowers contrast beautifully with the delicate silvery blue-grey foliage and add a sunny winter highlight to any garden. It requires well-drained soil in a full sun or partly shaded position.  If you have clay soil, plant it in a raised bed or mound the soil to improve the drainage.
