An evergreen shrub. It grows 5 m tall and spreads 2 m wide. The stem is erect and tall and fragile. The branches are nearly round in cross section. They are often bent and twisted. The leaves (phyllodes) are greyish-green and like a feather. They have 2 to 4 divisions of the leaves. Each division has 4 to 8 oval leaflets. The flowers are bright yellow balls. They occur as many flowers in a cluster. This makes it a very ornamental wattle. The pods are 5-10 cm long by 1-1.5 cm across. They are brown.
