It is believed to be a hybrid with L.polygalifolium as one parent. Flowers are followed by small, woody fruits containing many seeds. It is tolerant of a range of soils but performs best in moist, well drained soils in full sun or light shade. It is not attacked by many pests and seems fairly resistant to webbing caterpillar which can cause serious disfiguration to some Leptospermum cultivars.
Propagation is easy from cuttings.
It produces viable seed which germinates easily, however because of seedling variation, any plants produced from this seed will not be identical to the parent plant. You may have reached this description from one of several different sources.
