Melaleuca ‘Claret Tops’
Melaleuca linariifolia ‘Claret Tops’
This wonderful foliage plant is highly recommended! Loved by birds, it has amazing smelling leaves and masses of small white flowers in spring. It is useful for creating colour contrasts and, with the form of a conifer, gives a touch of formality without pruning. Full sun gives its leaves a brighter red colour. A hardy plant, it tolerates light frost and most soils and can grow well in containers, but is happiest in well drained soil with good organic content.
