Willow Wattle: Drought-Tough Australian Native

Willow Wattle

Acacia iteaphylla: Fine-Textured Evergreen Screen

Narrow, blue-green leaves clothe the somewhat drooping stems of this Australian native, forming a delicate yet bushy shrub with a dense habit—ideal as a privacy screen, windbreak, or specimen. Its fine texture contrasts beautifully with bold-leaved plants.

Remarkably Adaptable

Willow Wattle thrives in most soil types, tolerates drought once established, and withstands seacoast exposure—salt spray and wind don't faze it. Evergreen, it reaches 10–15 feet tall and 7–12 feet wide in full sun with low water needs. A tough, beautiful choice for challenging sites.
