Leptospermum scoparium ‘Martini’ Description

Leptospermum scoparium ‘Martini’ is a compact evergreen shrub with fine aromatic foliage and numerous pink flowers carrying darker central markings. The dense twiggy habit remains attractive throughout the year, while the main flower display arrives in late spring and early summer. Plants generally reach around 1 to 1.5 metres high and wide. Grow in full sun in acidic to neutral soil that drains freely. It tolerates coastal conditions and some summer drought but is vulnerable to severe frost and prolonged winter saturation. In colder Irish gardens, a large container or warm sheltered wall-side position can provide additional protection. Trim lightly after flowering to encourage dense growth and remove damaged stems, but avoid hard pruning into old wood that carries no foliage.
