10 Seeds Coast Tea Tree Leptospermum laevigatum Coastal Evergreen Shrub

Coast Tea Tree is a hardy evergreen shrub native to coastal regions, valued for its dense, fine-textured foliage and neat, rounded form. It works well as a windbreak, hedge, screen, or standalone specimen in coastal and low-maintenance landscapes, tolerating salt-laden winds and sandy soils.
This upright shrub produces small white flowers in spring and summer, followed by small woody capsules. The narrow grey-green leaves give it a soft, layered look year-round. It suits native gardens, seaside plantings, and informal hedges, and responds well to light pruning for shaping.
