Why we love this plant!
Why we love this plant!
Fan Wattle is a compact shrub with dense, green foliage and bright yellow flowers that attract bees and beneficial insects. Its hardy nature and ability to thrive in South East Queensland conditions make it a good option for providing shelter for small birds and insects while enriching soil through nitrogen fixation.
