Acacia jensenii is a spindly, open wattle shrub or small tree from arid northern Australia, grown mainly for its yellow flowers in dry-climate gardens. The key to growing it is full sun and excellent drainage, since it is adapted to sand and rock in desert conditions.
Acacia jensenii is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to north western Australia. It is a spindly, open shrub or tree with linear to narrowly elliptic phyllodes and heads of yellow flowers.
This species of wattle has a scattered distribution in the Coolgardie, Dampierland, Great Sandy Desert, Great Victoria Desert and Tanami bioregions of Western Australia and in the Burt Plain, Davenport Murchison Ranges, Great Sandy Desert, Gulf Fall and Uplands, Sturt Plateau and Tanami bioregions of the Northern Territory. In the Edgar Range in Western Australia it grows in sandstone gullies and at Lake Surprise in the Northern Territory, it grows on the upper slopes and crests of sand dunes.
