Leptospermum citratum, commonly known as Lemon Tea Tree, is a graceful evergreen Australian native admired for its masses of delicate white flowers and aromatic foliage. Its fine, weeping branches and fresh lemon-scented leaves provide year-round beauty, while the profusion of blooms in spring and early summer attracts bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators.
Hardy and adaptable, Lemon Tea Tree performs well in a variety of garden settings, from native and cottage gardens to coastal landscapes and feature plantings. Its low-maintenance nature, drought tolerance once established, and elegant form make it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a beautiful ornamental tree with wildlife appeal.
