20 Electric White Kunzea Seeds - Kunzea ambigua Bonsai Seeds + FREE eBook and FREE Seeds

In nature Kunzea ambigua is a small- to medium-sized spreading shrub with a variable growth habit reaching a height of about 5 m but is usually much smaller in cultivation (80-100cm). Its bark is fibrous and furrowed; while the narrow lanceolate green leaves are 0.5-1.3 cm in length and 0.2 cm wide, with hairy new growth.

Little maintenance is required other than an application of a complete fertilizer in early spring and light pruning and shaping to develop a compact, bushy shrub. A common pest is the webbing caterpillar which may be controlled by physical removal or by an application of a systemic insecticide.

Under cultivation K. ambigua grows into a handsome shrub which attracts numerous birds and colourful soldier beetles when in flower. It adapts to many situations and may be used as a Bonsai subject, background shrub, for screening or as a feature plant.
