Leptospermum lanigerum, Woolly Tea Tree, Leptospermum lanigerum Woolly Tea Tree, Leptospermum lanigerum Hedge

Leptospermum lanigerum, commonly known as the Woolly Tea Tree, is a compact shrub that produces masses of white flowers which literally coat the plant during spring and summer. The flowers result in woolly fruits along the stems which gives rise to its common name, the Woolly Tea Tree. The foliage comprises small, grey-green leaves which complement the flowers nicely as it grows to 3 m tall and the same wide. Leptospermum lanigerum is commonly used as a backdrop for smaller plants, included in a mixed planting, trimmed into a hedge, or planted around outdoor living areas.

Leptospermum lanigerum Details

Leptospermum lanigerum, commonly known as the Woolly Tea Tree, is a compact shrub that produces masses of white flowers which literally coat the plant during spring and summer. The flowers result in woolly fruits along the stems which gives rise to its common name, the Woolly Tea Tree. The foliage comprises small, grey-green leaves which complement the flowers nicely. This evergreen shrub typically grows to 3 m tall and the same wide and can be trimmed as necessary. Best performance with this shrub is achieved when it is planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. It is a hardy plant that will tolerate frost, coastal environments, and a wide range of soil conditions, barring extreme wet or dry. Leptospermum lanigerum is commonly used as a backdrop for smaller plants, included in a mixed planting, trimmed into a hedge, or planted around outdoor living areas.
