Leptospermum sericeum

This small to medium sized shrub has foliage that begins as a silvery-grey and matures to green. It produces masses of flowers in spring which start as deep pink but fade to pale pink or white. Perfect as a decorative shrub for general garden use, as a screen, windbreak or hedging plant. Foliage and flowers can be used for cut flower arrangements. Thrives in a sunny to party shaded position, but should be protected from frost. Prune after flowering to promote new growth and to maintain shape. Water during extended dry periods.
