Thaleropia queenslandica (Queensland Rose Myrtle)

Thaleropia queenslandica (Queensland Rose Myrtle) is a beautiful Australian rainforest tree or large shrub known for its attractive foliage and showy flowers. This plant features glossy, dark green leaves with a leathery texture that provide a perfect backdrop for its vibrant floral display. In spring and summer, it produces clusters of pink to rose-red flowers with prominent stamens, creating a stunning contrast against the foliage and attracting nectar-feeding birds and pollinators.

Ideal for subtropical gardens, rainforest restoration, and as a feature plant, Queensland Rose Myrtle thrives in well-drained, fertile soils and prefers partial shade to full sun. It is particularly well-suited to warm, humid climates and benefits from protection from strong winds. This tree is valued for its ornamental flowers, wildlife benefits, and ability to add colour and structure to garden landscapes.
