Acacia lanuginophylla is naturally found in a restricted region of south-west Western Australia north of Newdegate growing inland on sandy flats, commonly along drainage lines and is regarded as a rare and endangered species. 

It prefers an opened to exposed sunny position and grows in moderately fertile to poor well drained sandy-gravelly to clay soils that are tending acidic. It is very drought and mildly frost tolerant.

Woolly Wattle is grown for its spreading habit and its small yellow flowers. It is planted in parks on embankments as a ground cover or used as a spill-over above retaining walls. It is also grown in arid gardens along borders or in large rockeries and when young it can be planted in tubs or planter boxes. It is suitable for coastal and inland regions and establishes in 3-4 years and is moderately long lived. It is not commonly cultivated and may be difficult to obtain outside its native region requiring a specialist nursery. ID 3804
