Prairie Acacia is a delicate, shrubby perennial native to Texas grasslands and prairies, recognized for its soft, fern-like foliage and fluffy, white spherical flowers that bloom in warm months.

The blooms attract native bees and butterflies, while the dense foliage provides habitat for beneficial insects.
