Melaleuca Viridiflora

Broad-leafed Melaleuca is a robust, adaptable Australian native that grows into a small tree. The leaves are broader than most Melaleucas - more oval than linear - and the flower spikes appear in cream to yellow tones in summer. It is one of the more adaptable Melaleucas for varied soil conditions, tolerating both well-drained and seasonally moist soils. A good bird-attracting tree for screening or the back of larger native gardens. Full sun. Adaptable soils. Phosphorus-free fertiliser. Drought tolerant once established.
