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.

Care Considerations

Watering preferences:

Low to moderate watering; drought-tolerant once established.

Mulching preferences:

Applying organic mulch helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

Fertilising preferences:

Generally not necessary; if needed, use a low-phosphorus native plant fertiliser.

Pruning preferences:

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage dense growth.

Good to Know:

Attractive to native bees and small insectivorous birds such as the Superb Fairy-wren (Malurus cyaneus).
