Acacia luteola is a small wattle shrub from the southwest of Western Australia, growing 20 to 70 cm tall with cream to pale yellow flower heads. It naturally grows in seasonally wet swamps, so it is best kept in moist, well-drained conditions.
Acacia luteola is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia. It is a shrub with hairy branchlets, bipinnate leaves, spherical to cylindrical heads of cream-coloured to pale yellow flowers, and hairy pods.
