Nursery contributed plant descriptions

One of the hardiest of the pink Leptospermums and just gets hardier with age. This is a slow growing evergreen shrub which gets burgundy tints. Thrives in the hottest spot you got in well-drained soil of average to poor fertility and just occasional water in summer. Quite choice.
