MELALEUCA suberosa 5g
Corked Barked Myrtle
Family: Myrtaceae
Subfamily: Myrtoideae
Characteristics: Shrub 50 cm spread 1 m
Seed per packet: Tiny seed, hunderds.
Seed per gram: Tiny seed, thousands per gram.
An unusual small shrub that flowers profusely along old leafless branches. It seldom reaches a metre in height and is usually half that size, but spreads ungainly with several spreading twisted branches with small leaves near their tips. Mauve flowers occur in dense clusters embedded in the bark which encircle the bare branches below the foliage from spring to summer. This presents not only a spectacular floral display, but a most unusual structure with the flowers being embedded in the corky bark along the branches.
Endemic to the south coast of Western Australia from Albany to Esperance.
Prefers an acid clay soil in an open sunny position, frost resistant but drought tender.
