Leptospermum squarrosum is an upright shrub, varying in height from 1-3m and is native to sandstone areas of the coast and adjacent Plateaus of mid-New South Wales. It has proved to be an extremely hardy shrub, tolerant of both well-drained and damp conditions, and is thus recommended for new gardens or exposed positions. lt makes an excellent informal hedge or windbreak. Flowering begins in autumn and persists through winter, Flowers can vary in colour from white through all shades of pink. As flowering occurs on two to three-year-old wood pruning will be at the expense of future seasons' flowers. Normally pruning will not be necessary, because of the dense habit of this species. Plant in full sun with good drainage and adequate moisture.
