Knife leaf acacia

Acacia cultriformis

Knife Leaf Acacia

This distinctive evergreen shrub or small tree is admired for its unique triangular silver-blue foliage and masses of bright golden-yellow flowers that blanket the branches in late winter through spring. Its finely textured appearance and naturally spreading habit create striking year-round interest in water-wise and Mediterranean-style landscapes. The fragrant blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, while the silvery foliage provides beautiful contrast against greener plantings. Heat and drought tolerant once established, it performs exceptionally well as a specimen, screen, or accent plant. Evergreen.
