Spring

Leptospermum flavescens ‘Cardwell’ is an evergreen native plant. Flowering profusely in late winter through to late spring, the branches are covered by masses of small white flowers. So pretty.

 

Seen here are also the tiny pink-flushed flower buds.

 

It is attractive even when not in flower, with a beautiful weeping habit, and the leaves are aromatic when crushed.

 

Formally described as Leptospermum polygalifolium subsp. tropicum (syn: L. flavescens) which grows around the Cardwell area in northern Queensland.

 

Growing to 2 m in height.
