Sale price$1,200.00

Melaleuca linariifolia, known as Snow in Summer, is a hardy, evergreen Australian native shrub prized for its graceful form and striking summer blooms. Growing 2–4 metres tall and wide, it features fine, slender, willow-like green leaves and a neat, bushy upright habit.

In summer, it produces profuse clusters of fluffy white flowers that resemble falling snow, creating a stunning seasonal display. Thriving in full sun to part shade, this plant adapts well to a variety of well-drained soils and is highly drought-tolerant once established. It also attracts native birds and beneficial insects, making it excellent for biodiversity-focused gardens.

Ideal for feature planting, borders, informal screening, and pollinator-friendly landscapes, Snow in Summer combines aesthetic beauty with low water needs and strong ecological benefits.
