Melaleuca linariifolia dwarf 'Mini Mel'

A dwarf, evergreen shrub that naturally forms a round dense ball. The new growth is smoky bronze red and emits a rich aroma when crushed.

POSITION: Excels in full sun and can take most soil types. Will also grow in dappled shade.

CARE: Mini Mel requires very little maintenance. Once established its water requirements are minimal. A once a year feed with a slow release, low phosphorus fertiliser and an occasional trim to enhance its compact habit is all that is required.

USES: Mini Mel makes a very good low hedge, requiring very little trimming. A good low feature plant in a rockery, garden bed, tub or on your patio.
