Description
As seen in the ABC Gardening magazine Jan 2024 edition pg12
First described in 1999, this new Melaleuca was named for the late Ivan Holliday OAM who wrote a number of field guides on Australian native plants. It is a very attractive shrub, naturally growing into a rounded button to 1.3m x 1m. The foliage is fine and greyish in colour due to the small hairs which cover the foliage. From August to November it is covered in a profusion oh hot-pink pom-poms tipped in cream. Performs best in full sun to part shade in well drained soils. Drought hardy and at least moderately frost tolerant.
