Leptospermum Scoparium Alba is an aromatic evergreen shrub with single white flowers. It’s perfect for a sunny border and is loved by pollinators. Tea tree shrubs are related to myrtles and are native to New Zealand and Australia. In their native habitat, most tea trees are white so this is the closest match to a ‘wild tea tree’. Its evergreen foliage is small and needle-like with a pleasant scent when it’s rubbed. Tea Tree Alba keep its glossy appearance throughout the year in spring to early summer it flowers spectacularly covering the whole bush in single white five-petalled flowers that measure 12 mm in width. The flowers have a lime-green centre and mature into small capsules containing the seeds. This is a sun-loving shrub and will do best in a sunny, well-sheltered position. In colder northern climates it’s possible to grow tea tree shrubs in containers and shelter them in a greenhouse during the freezing months.
