Melaleuca linariifolia 'Snowfire' is a striking evergreen Australian native shrub renowned for its brilliant white, bottlebrush-like flowers and attractive fresh green foliage. Flowering profusely from spring into summer, it creates a spectacular display while attracting birds, bees and other beneficial pollinators. Hardy, adaptable and low maintenance, 'Snowfire' is ideal for screening, hedging, feature planting and native gardens.
Flowers
Produces masses of fluffy white, bottlebrush-style flowers from spring through summer, often with repeat flowering under favourable conditions. The nectar-rich blooms attract honeyeaters, native bees and butterflies.
Foliage
Fine, soft green foliage provides year-round colour and forms a dense, attractive canopy that responds well to pruning.
Fruit
Small woody seed capsules develop along the stems after flowering and often remain on the plant, adding texture and interest.
