Leptospermum Martini

Very showy and adaptable, Leptospermum scoparium 'Martini' is a New Zealand native that is offered in a 2-3L pot, making an excellent evergreen shrub for a garden or the landscape to give it an exotic touch. Commonly known as Manuka or New Zealand Tea Tree, 'Martini' is one of the most attractive cultivars that offer a profusion of soft pink flowers, beautifully contrasting with the dark green, needle-like foliage. Blooming profusely in the latter part of spring to the beginning of summer, these flowers will give not just colourful additional points but also attract various kinds of pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, which add value to your garden from an ecological point of view.

Grow informally in mixed borders or use it as a standout specimen in coastal gardens, where it can serve also as a windbreak. Thrives in full sun, well-drained soil, and very drought tolerant once established. Therefore, this is a very low-maintenance choice for a tough flowering beauty in the garden
