Leptospermum obovatum ‘Starry Night’ is a fast-growing Australian native shrub admired for its fine, deep purple foliage and graceful weeping habit. The fresh purple-pink new growth adds rich colour and texture, creating an elegant contrast in the garden.
From late spring through summer, bronze flower buds open to reveal a profusion of long-lasting snowy white flowers. Highly versatile and adaptable, ‘Starry Night’ performs well across a range of soil types and conditions and can be used as a screening plant, hedge or feature specimen.
