Acacia cardiophylla, commonly known as Wyalong Wattle, is an evergreen shrub or small tree native to the dry sclerophyll forests and grassy woodlands of New South Wales, Australia. It typically grows to a height of 2 to 3 meters (6 ft 7 in to 9 ft 10 in) with an erect to spreading habit and often has multiple stems. The foliage is feathery and blue-green, providing a delicate texture in the landscape. Its bright yellow, rod-shaped flowers bloom from July to November and are highly attractive to pollinators. The bark is dark grey or mottled brown and smooth, adding to its visual interest.

Wyalong Wattle is valued for its drought tolerance and vibrant floral display, making it a suitable choice for low-water gardens, xeriscaping, and as an ornamental feature in parks and gardens. It is also used for habitat restoration projects. While it thrives in full sun or part shade, it requires well-drained soils and is tolerant of a range of soil types, from sandy to loamy. It is relatively low-maintenance, but gardeners should be aware of potential issues with longhorn beetles and root rot in poorly drained conditions.CC BY-SA 4.0
