Willow Acacia

$0.00

Acacia iteaphylla

Silvery movement, softly cascading.

A graceful shrub with a gentle, weeping habit, Willow Acacia brings a wash of blue-green softness to the desert palette. Its narrow, willow-like leaves drape and flow, creating movement and contrast against bolder forms. In late winter to early spring, pale yellow flower clusters appear—subtle, but charming. It’s an easy, waterwise choice for filling space with texture and quiet beauty.

Growing Notes

  • Sun: Full Sun to Light Shade

  • Water: Low (moderate while establishing)

  • Mature Size: 8–12 ft tall × 10–15 ft wide

  • Cold Tolerance: Down to 15°F (protect in colder pockets)

  • Native To: Australia

Wren Hollow Tip

Let it grow naturally for the best form—this plant shines when allowed to cascade and soften edges. Light pruning after bloom can help shape without losing its character.

Ask a Pollinator…

“Can this be trained into a small tree or best left as a shrub?”

“How does it compare to willow wattle in size and care?”

Waterwise • Thoughtfully Grown • Desert Adapted

Soft texture for desert gardens with a gentle, flowing form
