A great naturally compact and dense wattle, growing to just over a metre high and wide. It flowers in spring with pale lemon ball shaped flowers, which can attract butterflies. A lovely and easy care plant. Frost and dry spell tolerant. Good for low hedging, as a feature plant and for mass planting, and can be container grown. Likes a well drained soil.
