Leptospermum myrsinoides

Leptospermum myrsinoides, or Heath Tea-tree, is a hardy, compact shrub native to southeastern Australia, commonly found in heathlands, woodlands, and sandy soils. Growing up to 2 meters tall, it features small, narrow green leaves and abundant white flowers that bloom in spring and summer, creating a beautiful display that attracts bees and other pollinators.

Thriving in well-drained soils and tolerating full sun to partial shade, Heath Tea-tree is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance once established. Its dense growth habit makes it ideal for native gardens, informal hedging, and revegetation projects. It also provides habitat and shelter for small birds and insects, enhancing biodiversity in the landscape.

With its delicate flowers, resilience, and ecological benefits, Leptospermum myrsinoides is a versatile and attractive choice for sustainable landscaping, habitat plantings, and naturalistic garden designs
