The foliage is dark green and slightly glossy, The flowers of this variety are large for a Tea Tree, being 25 mm in diameter, with pink petals, whitish stamens and a conspicuous, green centre.
Flowering occurs in summer and autumn, and for the remainder of the year the shiny brown fruits, up to 25 mm in diameter, contrast well with the foliage. As flowering occurs on the new wood L. macrocarpum makes a useful cut flower.
