Main asset

Dark green evergreen foliage, ornamental all year long, purplish in autumn-winter, and abundant red double small flowers in late spring.

Remarks

Plant in sheltered place in climatic zone 8, in pot in zone 7 to be able to protect the plant in winter. Leptospermum require draining soil, and are drought resistant once installed. Theu can be pruned after flowering (early summer) to keep the plant compact.

Coming from southern Australia and New Zealand, Teatrees are moderately hardy plants, reserved for sheltered but non-arid areas. The leaves are green gray, a little thorny. 'Winter' is covered in spring with many small red double flowers with purple heart.
