Chamelaucium ‘MB Violet’

Chamelaucium is a genus of shrubs native to Western Australia. They belong to the Myrtle Family (Myrtaceae) and are related to Leptospermum (commonly called tea-trees, though they are not the source of tea). This one is a hybrid named ‘MB Violet’, with petals that are deep purple at the tips fading to white at the base. The flowers are very long-lasting as well as showy.
