Evergreen silvery gray foliage, ornamental all year round, and abundant white bloom 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.
