Melaleuca cardiophylla, also known as tangling melaleuca, is a charming and resilient WA native shrub that brings year-round interest to any garden. With its slightly prickly, heart shaped foliage and profusion of creamy white flowers in spring and summer, it creates a visual display while attracting birds, bees and beneficial insects.
Naturally suited to sandy and gravely soils, this hardy species thrives in full sun and tolerates drought, coastal conditions, and light frosts. It is a dense, spreading shrub growing to 3x2m.
Perfect for native gardens, screening, hedging and habitat for local fauna.
