This wattle is endemic to the Flinders Ranges of South Australia and has become invasive outside of this region. It is regarded as an environmental weed throughout much of Western Australia.

There are a number of highly recommended hybrid grevilleas that will develop into small trees. Masses of spring and summer flowers, including pink and white 'Pink Surprise', or 'Pink Flush', or cream 'Moonlight' and orange/gold 'Honey gem' provide nectar for native birds. Grevilleas are fast-growing and require light pruning after flowering to encourage dense growth. They can be planted as either a screen or feature specimen and require well drained soils. Ask your local garden centre for advice about the best Grevillea for your garden.

This beautiful Australian native shrub to 4 m high by 2 m wide has rich dark green foliage. In spring the creamy-white brushes attract native birds. This superior form of Melaleuca bracteata is recommended as a screen, windbreak or as a feature specimen. It requires little attention and will thrive in most soil conditions. Prefers and open sunny position and regular pruning to maintain shape and to encourage new growth.

Most unlike Raspberry Jam in appearance, this wattle has spikes of golden-yellow blooms along its stems from July to October. Varies in habit from a large shrub to a small tree, it will grow from 2 – 10 m high by 3 – 5 m wide depending on the local soil and growing conditions. It tolerates gravely, sandy and clay soils, and is lime and moderately salt tolerant. Prefers semi-shade to full-sun.
