Native to SE Australia and New Zealand. https://www.anbg.gov.au/leptospermum/leptospermum-scoparium.html ![[Leptospermum scoparium (Burgundy Queen) 20220106 label.jpeg]] ![[Leptospermum scoparium (Burgundy Queen) 20220106 label 2.jpeg]] ## 2022-01-06 Planted next to gazebo and she-oak Relatively dry surface soil with roots. A lot of sandstone rock pieces. Deeper down, more clay-ish greyer soil. Moderately well draining but not as much as full-on sandy soil. Planted with a bucket of compost stirred in and spread on surface. It's a bit unclear if the conditions are right - online info is conflicting, different pages say both "well drained" and "moist", and both "must have full sun" and "deep shade suitable". Guess we'll see. ![[Leptospermum scoparium (Burgundy Queen) 20220107.jpeg]]
