Flowering profusely from spring into early summer, this attractive tea tree brings long-lasting colour while attracting bees and other beneficial pollinators to the garden.
Its naturally dense growth habit and manageable size make it an excellent choice for low hedges, borders, native gardens, feature plantings, and containers.
