Mimosa: A Golden Glow and Natural Heritage
This February, a spotlight on mimosa: a local symbol of beauty, resilience, and natural richness.
Mimosa, a fast-growing shrub that reaches 5 to 10 meters in height, is known for its fine, silver-grey foliage made up of numerous small leaflets. Its fluffy yellow flowers are grouped in cotton-like balls, formed by the stamens. The bark, known as “Wattle bark”, has a distinct leather-like odor and contains 30-40% tannin, widely used in the leather industry. Beyond its industrial applications, mimosa is also used in the production of dyes and chemicals, and its bark has medicinal properties.
The name “mimosa” comes from the Latin word mimus, meaning “to mimic,” referring to the touch-sensitive leaves of the Mimosa pudica species. Symbolizing magnificence, elegance, and friendship, mimosa is native to Australia but adapted perfectly to the Mediterranean climate, particularly on the French Riviera. Since 1931, the city of Mandelieu-La Napoule has been the international capital of mimosa, hosting an annual festival to celebrate this emblematic flower.
We are closely monitoring the harvest and will provide further updates in the coming months. At Robertet, we remain committed to delivering high-quality raw materials while adapting to the natural challenges we face.
Within Robertet, mimosa stands as an iconic material, a symbol of our heritage and craftsmanship: an essential element of our legacy.
