Acacia baileyana 'Purpurea'
Genus: Acacia
Species: baileyana
Variety: 'Purpurea'
Plant Type: Evergreen Tree
This form of "Mimosa" has lovely grey green leaves, the young tips being nicely bronzed. In late winter - early spring it bears lots of clusters of fluffy yellow pom-pom flowers. The growth can be quite soft and arching, so it's best grown as a bush rather than a tree.
