Melaleuca hypericifolia

Melaleuca hypericifolia Details

Melaleuca hypericifolia is a shrub grown for its pretty flowers and pendulous growth habit. It has dense, fern-like, bright green foliage which is held on arching branches. During spring and summer, it produces masses of orange, bottlebrush like flowers. It typically grows to 2 m tall and the same wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of wet, swampy conditions, coastal environments, frosts, and dry periods. Melaleuca hypericifolia is commonly included in mixed plantings, grown as an untrimmed hedge, or used as a backdrop for other plants.
