Striking, sculptural, and unlike almost any other wattle, Acacia aphylla earns its name from the Greek for “without leaves” — and it truly delivers on that promise. Instead of foliage, this remarkable shrub forms a dense network of blue-green, wiry branchlets that twist and weave into a naturally artistic shape. Despite its fierce, spiky appearance, the branches are surprisingly soft to the touch, giving it an intriguing contrast between look and feel. Its spreading habit and intricate structure make it a standout feature in the garden, especially when used as an architectural focal point. From late winter into spring, the plant softens its bold form with clusters of bright yellow flowers, adding seasonal warmth and classic wattle charm. Commonly known as the Leafless Rock Wattle, this unique Australian native thrives in well-drained soils and sunny positions, rewarding gardeners with year-round visual interest and texture.

Soil: Extremely well-drained sandy soil.
Conditions: Full to part sun. It will be intolerant of damp areas and may not thrive in humid areas.
Size: Height 3m x width 2m

Acacia howittii, or Sticky Wattle, is a shapely small tree with a natural, gracefully arching growth habit that does not need to be trained into shape. The small dark green foliage is contrasted with fragrant, fluffy, bright yellow flowers in spring. The leaves give off a sticky substance that is aromatic on warm days but it is not good planted close to pathways as it leaves dark stains that are difficult to remove. Acacia howittii is a fast grower and will make a good thick screen and is attractive for its foliage and form. It's also a great option for bonsai enthusiasts. 

Soil: It prefers to grow in moist and well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun to partial shade. Drought, wind and frost tolerant.
