Acacia neriifoliais naturally found in Australia from south-east Queensland extending to the New England Tablelands in New South Wales. It grows in well drained moderately fertile granitic based soils in an open sunny position and is frost and moderately drought tolerant.

The Oleander Wattle is grown for dense upright habit and its profuse spring flowers. It is suitable for coastal and inland regions and is planted in parks & gardens, along borders for screening or used as a windbreak. It establishes in 2-3 years and is often planted in commercial sites on embankments which are dry and rocky. ID 2577
