Leptospermum Cardwell

Post by archie1979 »

Well I think the other name for it is polygalifolium originates from Cardwell in queensland so they say.

Another Native picked up today at a bargain. This one has some nice trunk movement but apart from that it has a ways to go. Gotta start somewhere especially with the natives.

Heres a picture.

I decided on this one because of the nice white flowers during spring and summer.

I have some research to do.

Leptospermum flavescens 'Cardwell' is the one we have here. Great native with MASSES of white flowers completely covering the bush :D
