Varnish Wattle

This hardy shrub grows between 2 and 3.5 meters high and gets its name from the glossy, shiny, "varnished" appearance of its green leaves, which can release a pleasant resinous aroma on hot days. It produces bright yellow flower spheres in spring and handles partial shade far better than most other wattle species, making it a reliable understory filler.
