Leptospermum Horizontalis

Leptospermum horizontalis, also known as the prostrate tea tree, is a low-growing shrub native to Australia. It is valued for its dense, spreading growth habit and its ability to cascade over walls or rockeries, creating a stunning ground cover effect.

This plant typically grows to about 30-50 centimeters in height, with a spread of up to 2 meters or more. It has small, narrow leaves that are aromatic when crushed. In spring and summer, Leptospermum horizontalis produces an abundance of small, white flowers with a delicate, tea-like fragrance.

To grow Leptospermum horizontalis, plant it in a sunny or partially shaded position in well-draining soil. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and requires minimal maintenance. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage new growth. This plant is ideal for coastal gardens and is a great choice for adding texture and color to rockeries or slopes.
