Acacia glaucoptera - Clay Wattle Tubestock | Native Tree Seedling

Description:
A unique low-growing Australian native shrub with broad, wing-like blue-grey stems and bright yellow globular flowers that appear along the branches in late winter and spring. Unlike most wattles, its flattened leaf-like stems create a striking architectural form that makes it highly ornamental in native and dryland gardens. Compact and drought tolerant, it is excellent for feature planting, rockeries, and low-maintenance landscapes.
