Australian Native Waratah. The floral emblem of New South Wales is the Waratah. A striking plant when in flower, there are four kinds of waratah. These shrubs and trees have tough, dark green leaves, often toothed. The individual flowers grow on a dense head. Waratahs are most particular in their requirements and need a deep, sandy, well drained soil in a protected position, as they are very subject to root rot.
