Plant description
Melaleuca 'Claret Tops' is an eye catching plant, with beautifully coloured red new growth all year round. It is dense and compact with small leaves and the form of a conifer. As a bonus, it also has masses of small white flowers through spring, and an easy care nature. It does well in full sun to part shade, and on most soils if they are well drained. It grows to a metre and a half tall and a metre wide, and is great for low hedging and screens, and as a colour contrast for other plants. Good for coastal gardens.
