Acacia triptera, commonly known as Spur-Wing Wattle, is a semi-deciduous shrub native to dry sclerophyll forests and woodlands in Australia. It typically grows to a height of 6-9 feet (1.8-2.7 meters) and a width of 2-3 feet (0.6-0.9 meters). The plant has a distinctive appearance with its erect or spreading form and phyllodes (modified leaf stems) that have a wing-like appearance, hence the common name. The yellow flowers bloom in spring and are arranged in globular clusters, providing a showy display that attracts pollinators.

Spur-Wing Wattle is valued for its drought tolerance and ability to adapt to a variety of soil types, although it prefers well-drained soils. It is often used in cultivation for ornamental purposes, particularly in xeriscaping and native plant gardens, due to its unique foliage and bright floral display. While it thrives in full sun, it can also tolerate part shade. This species is relatively low-maintenance but can be susceptible to root rot if overwatered. It is frost-tolerant once established, making it suitable for cooler regions within its hardiness zones.CC BY-SA 4.0
