Leptospermum 'Mesmeyes'
Dense bushy shrub with dark silver pointed glossy leaves, on dense twiggy branchlets.The flowers are at least 3 centimetres across. This makes them the largest Leptospermum blooms. Flowers appear in spring. Initially they are white then age to pink. This gives the plant a two-toned appearance. Bred and selected at Bywong Nursery, Australia. The name derives from the dark flower centres and the prominent stamens that resemble eye lashes. Prefers a sunny site with well drained soil.
