Melaleuca Armillaris Honey Myrtle

Melaleuca armillaris, commonly known as Honey Myrtle, is a versatile and attractive Australian native shrub or small tree. It is prized for its aromatic foliage, profuse white or cream-colored bottlebrush-like flowers, and its ability to attract bees and other pollinators.

To grow Melaleuca armillaris in Melbourne and Sydney, choose a sunny to partially shaded location with well-draining soil. This plant is tolerant of a wide range of soil types, including sandy and clay soils. Water regularly, especially during dry periods, but avoid waterlogging the soil.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a compact shape and promote new growth. Melaleuca armillaris is relatively low-maintenance and is resistant to pests and diseases.

In Melbourne, provide protection from frost, especially for young plants, while in Sydney, this may be less of a concern due to the milder climate. With its lovely flowers and aromatic foliage, Melaleuca armillaris is a beautiful addition to gardens in both cities.
