Report an issue with this species
Acacia iteaphylla is an evergreen shrub with a variable habit, forming an upright to bushy, pendulous canopy, and features weeping, blue-green phyllodes. It bears fluffy, pale yellow blooms from late fall to early spring. This Australian native provides light shade and is tolerant of drought, frost, and coastal conditions, though all parts are mildly toxic if consumed in large quantities.
