Melaleuca thymifolia
25+ seeds
"Thyme honey myrtle"
Melaleuca thymifolia,
commonly known as thyme or feather honey myrtle.is one of the most
widely cultivated members of the genus and is well established in
general horticulture. The species forms a small shrub rarely exceeding
1 metre in height. The mauve or purple flowers occur in clusters on the
older stems and have a distinctive "claw" configuration which clearly
shows the united stamens that are a feature of the genus. The leaves
are oblong-elliptical in shape and about 10mm long.

Thymifolia
has proven to be adaptable over a wide range of climates and will
tolerate less than perfect drainage. However, best performance is
achieved under conditions of good drainage with assured moisture.
Flowering is best in sunny positions but the species will tolerate
shade with reduced flowering and some sparseness in habit. It responds
to annual fertilising after flowering and to an annual light pruning to
encourage a bushy shape. Propagation is easy from both seed and
cuttings.

Generally melaleuca are frost tolerant and tolerate
heat, hot winds, wet feet, salt air and drought. Extremely hardy and
fast growing, they have very decorative flowers and bark.The species
responds to annual fertilising after flowering and to an annual light
pruning to encourage a bushy shape. Under ideal conditions the species
is quick growing and makes a good screening plant.

Used as bonsai too.
