How to Grow and Care for Clay wattle

Clay wattle distinguishes itself by its unique sprawling growth, typically reaching up to 3 feet (about 91 cm) in height. The branches exhibit an intriguing zigzag pattern due to the dense overlap of grey-green leaf-like structures that cloak them. These phyllodes alter to a reddish or bronze hue during new growth, transitioning to purplish in cooler periods. Striking rounded yellow flowers bloom generously along the stems in the spring season, accentuating the plant’s ornate structure. Optimal growth conditions include full sunlight and soil that provides good drainage. The resilience of clay wattle extends to temperatures as low as 20-25 degrees Fahrenheit (-6 to -4 degrees Celsius).
