Plant description

Leptospermum 'Rhiannon' is a very pretty small to medium upright shrub with brightly coloured mauve-pink flowers and dark, glossy foliage. A good cut flower, and is long lasting. It is relatively narrow and upright growing, and therefore suitable for confined spaces such as driveways or can be used as a screen or feature plant. Good for sun to part shade, in well drained soils. Fertilise with a good native plant food in spring, and prune lightly to encourage more compact growth.
