The manuka tea tree is native to New Zealand but has been recently grown in the United States along warm coastal regions, both tropical and sub-tropical.
This evergreen shrub grows at a medium rate and can be grown in a pot, trimmed as a hedge, or grown all the way up into a shrub or small tree size.
It has a charming old-world or antique look to it with dainty and prim-looking flowers of white with pinkish-red centers. Leptospermum scoparium comes in 3 colors: white, pink, and red. These seeds came from the white variety however do note that I offer the pink/red ones as well.
Grow Zones: 8,9,10,11 Other Names: Leptospermum scoparium, Tea Tree, Broom Teatree, Manuka, New Zealand Tea Tree Seed Size: Very Tiny (thread-like seeds)
The seeds arrived quickly but we did not receive part of our order. We are still waiting for the ones we received to grow so too early for full review.
