Acacia lachnophylla is a low, spreading wattle shrub from arid south-west Western Australia, grown mainly for its golden yellow flower heads. It needs full sun, excellent drainage and little water once established.
Acacia lachnophylla is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to a small area in the south-west of Western Australia. It is a prostrate, spreading or domed shrub with densely hairy branchlets, linear, straight to slightly curved, subterete to flat phyllodes, spherical heads of golden yellow flowers and linear to ring-shaped or coiled black pods.
This species of wattle grows in clay loam and sandy or gravelly soils on undulating plains, flats and low rises between Peak Charles National Park, Norseman and Grass Patch and around Ravensthorpe in the Coolgardie, Esperance Plains and Mallee bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
