Leptospermum brachyandrum 'Jack Frost', commonly known as the 'Jack Frost' Tea Tree, is a stunning and unique cultivar of the Tea Tree family. This ornamental shrub is highly valued for its striking variegated foliage and its ability to bring year-round interest to gardens and landscapes. Native to Australia, 'Jack Frost' is part of the Myrtaceae family and is well-suited to a variety of climates and garden styles.

Common Name: 'Jack Frost' Tea Tree
Mature Height (meters): Typically reaches around 2-3 meters
Mature Width (meters): About 1-2 meters
Spacing: Plant at least 1.5-2 meters apart from other plants or structures to allow for proper growth and spread.
Foliage: The most distinctive feature of 'Jack Frost' is its beautiful variegated foliage. The leaves are small, narrow, and have a creamy-white edge with a green center, creating a striking contrast. This variegation adds a unique visual interest to the plant throughout the year.
Flowering Period: While the primary attraction is its foliage, Leptospermum brachyandrum 'Jack Frost' produces small, white tea tree flowers in spring and early summer. These flowers are delicate and add an additional layer of beauty to the shrub.
Form/Habit: This cultivar has a compact, bushy growth habit, making it ideal for use in a variety of landscape settings, including as a feature plant or in mixed borders.
Uses: Perfect for ornamental planting in gardens, parks, and along pathways. It's also suitable for use in native plant gardens, coastal settings, and can be used for informal hedging or screening.
Sun: Prefers full sun to partial shade.
Maintenance: Low maintenance; requires minimal pruning to maintain its shape and to remove any dead or damaged wood.
Water Requirement: Moderate; drought-tolerant once established, but regular watering is beneficial, especially during dry spells and in the first few years after planting.
