Melaleuca Claret Tops is commonly known as the Honey Myrtle. She's a compact shrub made of dense small leaves that appear as a bright claret colour as new growth.
I like bright sun (the more sunshine, the more colourful my foliage will be!), but can handle a little shade too. Use me for hedging and screening, or even turn me into a bonsai or topiary - I can be shaped just how you like.
Spring-time will bring a mass of tiny cream-white flowers that will attract bees and other nectar-eating species to your yard. She's a real show stopper; colourful, flowering, easy-care, and she's drought-resistant too!
