Plant Description

The Leptospermum scoparium 'Red Damask' is a striking evergreen shrub with a compact, upright form. Its fine, needle-like foliage is deep green, providing a perfect backdrop for its vivid, double red flowers that bloom profusely in spring and summer. The petals have a velvety texture, surrounding a darker central eye, creating a dramatic contrast. The woody stems are covered in small, scale-like leaves, enhancing its intricate appearance. This variety of Manuka is both an ornamental highlight and an important nectar source for pollinators.
