Leptospermum rotundifolium - Round-leafed Tea Tree

This striking native shrub showcases delicate pink or white blooms up to 30mm across, each with five rounded petals framing a distinctive green centre.

Reaching 1–2 metres in height, the round-leafed tea tree thrives in sun-drenched, well-drained positions and demonstrates impressive resilience to frost and salt spray.

Its small, aromatic foliage releases fragrance when touched, while spring flowering transforms the plant into a botanical spectacle.

Endemic to New South Wales, this hardy species attracts pollinators and performs exceptionally well in coastal and inland gardens alike, requiring minimal intervention beyond occasional pruning to maintain its elegant form.
