Leptospermum brachyandrum 'Jack Frost', known as 'Jack Frost' Tea Tree, is a striking Australian native shrub prized for its year-round interest and unique variegated foliage. Growing to about 2–3 meters tall and 1–2 meters wide, it features small narrow leaves edged in creamy white with green centers, creating a beautiful contrast.

In spring and early summer, it produces delicate white tea tree flowers, adding seasonal charm. This compact, bushy shrub thrives in full sun to partial shade and is perfect for ornamental gardens, native landscapes, coastal areas, and informal hedges or screens. Low maintenance and moderately drought-tolerant once established, it requires occasional pruning and regular watering during dry periods for best growth.
