This compact, low-growing variety forms an appealing mound of slender, needle-like leaves that take on subtle bronze tints in cooler weather, making it a charming addition to rock gardens, borders, or containers where manageable size is desired.\u003cbr\u003e\nThese seeds are ideal for ornamental planting and can also be used as a natural, fragrant filler in garden beds. Over time, the shrub develops a dense, twiggy habit that provides excellent texture and evergreen interest. For best results, sow seeds in a well-draining, gritty mix, keeping them lightly covered and consistently moist until germination occurs. This versatile plant tolerates a range of conditions once established, including coastal winds and poor soils, and responds well to light pruning to maintain a neat shape.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Leptospermum rupestre\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Alpine Tea Tree\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Perennial shrub\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Compact, low mound\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun to partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Well-draining, sandy or gritty\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 7-10\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: 2-8 weeks with cold stratification recommended\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Surface sow, lightly press into soil, keep moist\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 2-3 feet apart\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Drought tolerant once established; aromatic foliage\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54543452045622,"sku":"EXGA-279","price":19.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/download_610bed44-d11e-468e-a820-3fcb7f062c21.png?v=1789094263","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/10-seeds-alpine-tea-tree-leptospermum-rupestre-hardy-evergreen-ornamental-shrub","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
