Melaleuca Narrow Nessie - honey myrtle
The native honey myrtle is a beautiful gnarly tree in full bloom, but it can be a little large for smaller suburban gardens. Narrow Nessie (or Narrow Nessy, the breeder's own website is undecided) is smaller, slimmer and much more compact, ideal for any garden spot. Fluffy pink-purple flowers, and afterwards rounded seedpods like a baby's rattle.
Fun fact, the botanic name nesophila comes from the Greek words for Love Island : ‘nesos’ for island and ‘phileo’ for love. This refers to its natural habitat in sandy coastal regions, but we think this means it could be Sophie Monk's favourite plant...
