Acacia drewiana is a low, spreading wattle subshrub from south-western Western Australia, grown mainly for its golden yellow ball-shaped flower heads. It needs sun, good drainage and little summer water once established.
Acacia drewiana is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a subshrub with hairy branchlets, bipinnate leaves, spherical heads of golden yellow flowers and leathery, narrowly oblong, crusty pods.
Acacia drewiana subsp. drewiana grows in sandy loam, sand, gravel and clay in heath and open jarrah or wandoo woodland, sometimes in winter-wet depressions, from near Eneabba to Mundijong in the Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
