“Outrageous” is a variety of Manuka renowned for its pretty flowers. During spring and summer, it produces single, pink flowers with a green centre. The foliage comprises small, dark green leaves which complement the flowers nicely. This evergreen shrub typically grows to 2 m tall and the same wide, performing best when planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. It is a hardy plant that will tolerate frost, coastal conditions, and a wide range of soil conditions, barring extreme wet or dry. “Outrageous” is commonly used as a backdrop for smaller plants, included in a mixed planting, maintained in a container, or trimmed into a hedge.
