Melaleuca Space Saver - bracelet honey myrtle
Our native bracelet honey myrtle, in a superslim, space-saving size! It's a pretty cottage-garden shrub for cooler exposed sites and coastal locations.
It's a great alternative privacy screen in suburban blocks where the house goes right up to the boundary line. It's a great windbreak, shelter from sea spray, wildlife hedge, as it's bushy all the way to the ground.
Space Saver™ grows in dry and wet soils, even those that get flooded; it's frost and drought tolerant; and needs very little pruning.
We love Space Saver™ for its super-slim profile, bushy upright growth, low maintenance resilience
