Acacia myrtifolia (myrtle wattle) known commonly as myrtle wattle occurs naturally in every state in Australia in higher rainfall areas, usually as an open understory shrub to around 2m in forest and sub coastal forest.

It tends to be more compact in cultivation where it is grown in full sun and therefore makes an attractive ornamental plant.

This species can be used as a windbreak or screening plant.

Acacia myrtifolia (myrtle wattle) produces a creamy white to pale yellow bloom from winter to spring.
