Hardy, Aromatic Shrub with Medicinal Value

Common Names: New Zealand Tea Tree, Manuka, Manuka Myrtle, Tea Tree, New Zealand Myrtle
Family: Myrtaceae
Origin: New Zealand and Southeastern Australia

The New Zealand Tea Tree (Leptospermum scoparium), also known as Manuka, is a hardy, evergreen shrub prized for its beautiful flowers, aromatic foliage, and medicinal properties. Native to New Zealand and Australia, this versatile plant is a standout in any landscape with its showy white to pink blooms and fine-textured, needle-like leaves. Manuka is well-known for its association with Manuka honey, made by bees that forage on its nectar, and for the essential oils derived from its leaves, which have antimicrobial properties.

Flowers: Small, five-petaled flowers bloom in shades of white, pink, or red, creating a stunning display from late winter to early summer.

Foliage: Aromatic, needle-like leaves are dark green and densely cover the branches, adding year-round texture and interest.

Growth Habit: New Zealand Tea Tree is a compact, bushy shrub that typically grows 3-10 feet tall, depending on the variety and growing conditions.

Medicinal Uses: The essential oil from Manuka leaves is highly valued for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Traditionally, the plant has been used in teas and poultices for various health remedies.

Pollinator-Friendly: The flowers attract bees, making it an excellent choice for pollinator gardens and for supporting honey production.
