Description:
Melaleuca armillaris ‘Pink’ is a hardy, upright native shrub selected for its soft, feathery green foliage and flushes of soft pink bottlebrush-style flowers. Naturally slender in habit, it is ideal for screening, hedging, or feature planting in larger native landscapes. Tough and low-maintenance, this variety performs well in coastal conditions, windy sites, and dry gardens.
Flowers:
Clusters of small, soft pink bottlebrush-style flowers appear in spring and summer. The blooms are lightly scented and provide seasonal interest, attracting bees and other pollinators.
Foliage:
Fine, soft, feathery green foliage provides year-round texture and creates a soft, flowing appearance in the landscape. New growth is bright green, adding contrast to mature foliage.
Fruit:
Woody seed capsules may form after flowering, adding texture to the stems.
