There is also 'Sydney golden wattle' and other variations. A Pycnantha, A Longifolia, A Baileyana, Acacia farnesiana are some possibilities. See: http://www.herbiguide.com.au/Descrip...den_Wattle.htm As for whether it will grow well in your location or the best place to get seeds, that would depend on where you are. Note also that wattle pollen provokes allergic reactions in some people. David |

Pycnantha, which Wikipedia says is the "Golden Wattle" is Australia's floral emblem? Personally I wouldn't plant it as IMO it's not very pretty. I dont' think that the old Cootamundra wattle can be beaten for straight colour but I do like the A. Floribunda too. A Longifolia, A Baileyana, Acacia farnesiana are some possibilities.

And wattle seeds need special treatment in order to germinate. IIRC, it's either scarifying the coat with a bit of sandpaper OR soaking overnight in a cup of water that has reached boiling point before dropping the seeds into it. |

I was right with both those guesses according to the Aust'n National Botanic Gardens site: http://www.anbg.gov.au/acacia/ |
