Viminaria juncea, commonly known as Golden Spray, is a deciduous shrub native to the wetlands, swamps, and along the margins of rivers and streams in Australia. It exhibits an erect or weeping habit, reaching 1.5–6 m (4.9–19.7 ft) in height and 1–2.5 m (3.3–8.2 ft) in width. The plant features a smooth trunk with ascending branches, while the slender branchlets often droop. Its distinctive leaves are reduced to long, thin petioles measuring 3–25 cm (1.2–9.8 in) in length. Golden Spray produces showy yellow flowers with an orange corolla, typically pea-shaped, from September to January on racemes up to 25 cm (10 in) long. These are followed by small pods containing single seeds. Notable for its rapid growth rate, Golden Spray can, however, lose vigor after 5 to 10 years.

Golden Spray is valued for its bright yellow, ornamental flowers and its ability to adapt to a range of soil conditions, though it prefers acidic to neutral soils. It is often used for revegetation projects, ornamental waterside plantings, and as a feature shrub in gardens. Hardy to temperatures down to −4 °C, it requires full sun to part shade and can tolerate various water regimes, from low to ample moisture. Plants grown from seed tend to be more robust than those from cuttings. Potential problems include susceptibility to root rot in poorly drained soils and a relatively short lifespan in cultivation.CC BY-SA 4.0
