Tea tree winter cheer
A pretty show in my garden at the moment from the red-flowering tea tree, a native of this country.
A shrub with deep burgundy/green foliage and lots of tiny, vibrant hot pink flowers that appear from now, through winter and in to spring. Growth is compact to around 1 m and each flower 1 cm diameter.
This cultivar is Leptospermum scoparium 'rubrum nana'.
Reportedly, first British settlers to Australia made tea from the leaves.
