Acacia pravissima – Ovens Wattle

Acacia pravissima, commonly known as the Ovens Wattle, is a versatile plant that brings charm to any garden with its unique shapes and golden blooms from winter through spring. Its delightful fragrance is an added bonus! 🌼 Thriving in dry conditions, tolerating light frost, and suited for coastal climates, this shrub or small tree is perfect for full or partial sun exposure, even thriving in dappled shade. Prune it post-flowering to maintain its bushy appearance. Serving as an excellent windbreak, it can grow up to 8 meters tall and wide in various soil types. Well-suited for cool temperate, Mediterranean, and semi-arid climates, the fast-growing Acacia pravissima attracts bees, butterflies, seed-eating birds, and other beneficial insects, making it a valuable addition to low-maintenance or coastal gardens.
