Acacia baileyana purpurea - Purple-Leaf Wattle
Acacia baileyana 'Purpurea', or Purple-Leaf Wattle, is a striking Australian native tree known for its soft, feathery blue-grey to purple-toned foliage and vibrant yellow flowers in late winter to early spring. The coloured new growth provides year-round contrast and visual interest.
Growing to 4–8 metres tall and 3–6 metres wide, it forms a graceful, spreading canopy suited for feature planting, screening, or inclusion in biodiverse native gardens. Fast-growing and low maintenance, it thrives in full sun and a range of well-drained soils. Once established, it is highly drought tolerant.
A standout native species offering both colour and structure with minimal care.
