Melaleuca 'Snowstorm'
Melaleuca 'Snowstorm' is a striking, compact evergreen shrub, known for its stunning white flowers that appear in dense clusters, resembling snowflakes. These vibrant, bottlebrush-like flowers bloom in late winter to spring, creating a beautiful display that attracts pollinators such as bees and birds. The soft, aromatic foliage provides a contrast to the bright flowers, adding a refreshing look to any garden.
Snowstorm Melaleuca thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soils. It is an ideal choice for creating low hedges, borders, or as a feature plant in smaller gardens. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, requiring only occasional pruning after flowering to maintain its shape. Its resilience, fragrance, and stunning seasonal blooms make it a perfect addition to Australian native gardens.
