It usually grows up to between 0.4 and 1 metre in height. Pink flowers are produced between June and November (early winter to late spring) in its native range.[1]
The species was initially given the name Leptospermum robustum without description, and later formally described by botanist John Lindley in Edward's Botanical Register in 1843.[2]
CultivationEdit
Its attractive flowers and compact size make it a desirable garden plant.[3] However, it does need a climate where the summers are dry.[3] It requires good drainage and prefers a sunny or partially shaded position and has moderate frost resistance.[3] Propagation is from semi-mature cuttings or seed.[3]
