Leptospermum Starry Night 200MM

Leptospermum obovatum 'Starry Night'

I am Leptospermum Starry Night. My family originated from South East Australia.

Habit Shrub - Foliage colour

Plant family Myrtaceae

I am an Australian native shrub with soft, fine dark purple foliage. My braches arch gracefully with small bright white flowers which occur over spring and summer reminiscent of a clear starry night. Drought and frost tolerant I make a great low maintenance and elegant screening hedge. My weeping form makes me a great feature plant.

I am popular and will make you happy because...

My foliage is dense with a dark purple tinge making me a colourful hedging and screening option

Suited to cool temperate to sub-tropical climates I am frost and drought resistant

My starry white blooms are borne in spring attacting bees and other beneficial insects
