Acacia linifolia, commonly known as White Wattle or Flax Wattle, is a perennial shrub native to open woodlands and forest edges in eastern Australia, particularly New South Wales. It typically grows to a height of 5-13 feet (1.5-4 meters) and has an erect or spreading habit. The bark is greyish, smooth, or finely fissured, and the plant is characterized by its linear phyllodes instead of true leaves. From July to October, it produces showy pale yellow to white flowers in spherical heads, which are attractive to a variety of pollinators.

White Wattle is valued for its fast growth and ornamental flowers, making it suitable for use in urban planting, border planting, and as a feature in native gardens. It requires full sun to part shade, moderate water, and well-drained soils. While it is relatively low-maintenance, it can be susceptible to root rot in poorly drained soils. In cultivation, it can be pruned to maintain a desired shape or to promote denser foliage. Due to its potential for invasiveness when grown outside its native range, it is important to consult local guidelines before planting.CC BY-SA 4.0
