Blossom mānuka (Leptospermum scoparium ‘Blossom’) is a compact evergreen shrub with fine foliage, reddish stems and large, double coral-pink flowers. Its main display begins in winter and continues through spring, bringing colour to the garden when fewer shrubs are flowering.
Growing approximately 2 m tall and wide, ‘Blossom’ suits mixed native planting, informal hedges, screening and feature positions. Plant in full sun for dense growth and abundant flowers. It prefers free-draining soil and should be watered regularly while establishing. Once established, it tolerates wind and coastal conditions. Lightly prune after flowering to encourage fresh growth and maintain a compact shape, avoiding hard cuts into bare older wood.
