Melaleuca Thymifolia (Thyme Honey Myrtle)

Melaleuca Thymifolia (Thyme Honey Myrtle) is a compact, low-growing Australian native shrub prized for its fine, aromatic foliage and unique, fringed purple flowers. Its soft, narrow leaves resemble those of thyme, giving the plant its name. Flowering from spring through to autumn, this versatile plant adds colour and texture to garden beds, borders, or natural landscapes. It is well-suited to both formal and informal garden styles and can handle wetter soils better than many other natives.

Melaleuca Thymifolia (Thyme Honey Myrtle) thrives in full sun to partial shade and is highly adaptable to a range of conditions, including damp or clay soils. It is ideal for use in rockeries, rain gardens, or as a groundcover in native gardens. Its low-maintenance nature and resilience to both drought and wet soils make it a popular choice for gardeners seeking an attractive, hardy native plant. Native to Australia.
