Leptospermum "Naoko"
Leptospermum "Naoko"
Looks great when planted with autumn flowering golden and yellow wattles in the garden.
A hybrid of L. scoparium nanum rubrum and L. polygalifolium Cardwell.
L. Naoko has a compact growth habit with aromatic foliage covered with masses of predominantly pale pink flowers with very striking dark pink transitioning to red centered flowers during winter and spring.
Murray Dawson has written this about Leptospermums:
"Currently there are 87 wild species of Leptospermum recognized (Dawson, 2009).
Australia is the center of diversity for the genus where most species are endemic.
L. scoparium extends from mainland Australia and Tasmania to New Zealand.
L.parviflorum Valeton extends from northern Australia to New Guinea.
Elsewhere, L. javanicum Blume naturally occurs in South East Asia.
L. recurvum Hook.f. is endemic to Mt Kinabalu in Borneo."
