Description: Derived from the Greek leptos meaning slender and sperma meaning seed and refers to the many small seeds produced by individual plants. They are collective known as Tea-trees because the leaves were used as a substitute for tea. In cultivation, most prefer soils with good drainage and can grow from full sun to almost full shade. Most species will tolerate heavy frost. Regular pruning is recommended to prevent seed formation and to retain bushiness.  Shrub 7' high x 5' wide with pale to deep pink flowers on old wood. Blooms fall into winter.  This is NOT the species that the Tea Tree Oil comes from, that is Melaleuca alternifolia.
