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.
