Leptospermum Nanum Ruru

Leptospermum scoparium Nanum Ruru

Leptospermum scoparium Nanum Ruru is renowned for its pretty flowers and attractive foliage. It produces flowers that are dark pink and deepen to crimson at the base during spring and summer. These are produced en masse and are complemented with the bronze tinged foliage. This compact, evergreen shrub typically grows to 1.2 m tall and 75 cm wide, performing best when planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. This hardy plant will survive dry periods, coastal conditions, and a wide range of soil conditions barring extreme wet or dry. Leptospermum scoparium Nanum Ruru is commonly used as a backdrop for smaller plants, included in mixed plantings, maintained in a container, or trimmed into a hedge.
