A tall shrub with striking burgundy coloured foliage and an abundance of white flowers in spring, the ‘Burgundy’ Tea Tree is great for a fast growing screen or hedge. Its bold coloured leaves are useful for cut foliage in flower arrangements. Best in a well drained soil and a sunny spot, it tolerates light frost and is generally very hardy and a low maintenance plant
