Leptospermum grandiflorum – Autumn Tea Tree, Large-flowered Tea Tree

Description

Leptospermum grandiflorum is a dense, evergreen shrub native to Tasmania, known for its attractive silvery foliage and large, showy white flowers. Growing up to 2 to 3 meters tall, this species has aromatic, grey-green leaves with a fine texture and a silvery sheen, giving it a distinctive ornamental appeal.

In spring and early summer, it produces abundant, broad white flowers with golden centers that stand out beautifully against the foliage. The plant is hardy, tolerating wind, light frost, and poor, sandy soils, making it ideal for coastal gardens and low-maintenance landscapes. With its combination of beauty, resilience, and subtle fragrance, Leptospermum grandiflorum is a stunning choice for hedging, screening, or ornamental planting.
