PLANT PROFILE

Leptospermum obovatum ‘Starry Night’, known as Starry Night Tea Tree, is a compact, fast-growing Australian native shrub prized for its deep purple foliage and dense, bushy habit. Growing 1–2 meters tall and wide, it creates striking contrast with its rich purple leaves and masses of delicate white, five-petaled flowers in spring and early summer that attract pollinators and native birds.

Ideal for hedging, screening, feature planting, or container gardens, this evergreen shrub thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to various soils, including coastal conditions. It’s drought-tolerant once established and requires minimal maintenance, making it a standout choice for modern, low-water landscapes and vibrant garden designs.
