Leptospermum Martini

Leptospermum scoparium Martini is a variety of Mānuka that features clusters of vibrant pink flowers with contrasting dark centres, creating a visually stunning display. The fine, dark green foliage is aromatic and glossy, adding year-round interest to the garden.

Leptospermum Martini thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil, though it can tolerate a range of soil types, including sandy and loamy soils. This plant is particularly well-suited to coastal conditions and can handle exposure and moderate frost. It is low-maintenance and benefits from regular pruning and a long-term, slow-release fertilizer to encourage healthy growth and abundant flowering. Space plants about 1-1.5 metres apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth.

Ideal for use in mixed borders, as a feature plant, or in a flowering hedge, Leptospermum Martini also looks fantastic in decorative pots and is excellent for general landscaping. At maturity, it reaches a height of approximately 1.5-2 metres and a spread of about 1-1.5 metres, forming a dense, upright shrub. Its vibrant flowers attract pollinators, enhancing the ecological value of your garden.
