Leptospermum scoparium 'Apple Blossom' (New Zealand Tea Tree) - This is an upright growing (to 8 feet tall and wide) evergreen shrub with double light-pink flowers that appear in a very strong flush in the spring as well as in the fall. It has tiny needle-like green leaves sometimes tinged with pink (especially during cold temperatures). Buds open to pale pink double flowers, then turn pure white. It requires good drainage, is drought tolerant, and is hardy down to about 20 degrees F.
The information about Leptospermum scoparium 'Apple Blossom' displayed on this web page is based on our research conducted in the nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources.
