The Golden Wattle is the floral emblem of Australia. Masses of bright yellow flowers brighten the Australian bush and gardens from late winter to early spring. The wattle is a versatile plant - the fragrant flowers are used for making perfume and the wattle seed is edible. Culturally it has been used by indigenous people for fibre, medicine, hunting implements and adhesive. Ideal as an ornamental shade tree for parks, gardens, paddocks and reserves. The golden wattle is a great food source for nectar-feeding birds, butterflies and insects.
