Fringed Wattle

Acacia Fimbriata

Design with this plant

Overview

Acacia fimbriata, or Fringed Wattle, is an evergreen shrub known for its vibrant yellow, fragrant blooms and fine, fringe-like foliage. Reaching up to 20-30 feet tall, with a similar spread, it thrives in USDA zones 9-11. Ideal for creating screens or feature specimens in xeriscapes, it requires well-draining soil and full sun. Drought-tolerant once established, it offers low maintenance beauty and habitat support for native fauna.
