Silver wattle Goulois Astier(Acacia dealbata ‘Gaulois Astier’)

A ray of sunshine in the heart of winter

The Silver wattle Goulois Astier is an outstanding Acacia dealbata cultivar, valued for its early and abundant bloom. From January to March, it bursts into a profusion of golden-yellow, silky pompom flowers with a strong, sweet fragrance. It brings warmth and colour to the garden when most plants are still dormant.
Its finely divided, silver-green foliage remains decorative year-round and contrasts beautifully with the bright blooms. Fast-growing, vigorous, and salt-tolerant, it thrives in mild climates and coastal gardens but can also be grown successfully in containers in cooler regions.
