This is a bushy, nearly erect shrub, with many slender stems closely lined by lance-shaped leaves (softer than they look), that darken in winter. It may begin the flowering season anytime from October to March, displaying masses of waxy light pink flowers that mature to white. Tea trees are useful for individual display or in large shrubby borders and screens. Hedging eventually can result in a tired, woody look. Sun, well drained soil, moderate to little watering when established.
