Hypocalymma Augustifolium White myrtle seeds

Hypocalymma augustifolium white myrtle seeds are an exquisite ornamental shrub, related Leptospermum and Callistemon.

This shrub boasts petite dark green leaves and a striking display of white to deep pink flowers that adorn its weeping branches in the early winter and late spring.

Native to the south west region of Western Australia, it thrives in well-drained, sunny locations and is resilient to drought and frost.

When planting, it's best to sow the seeds in temperate climates during spring or autumn, avoiding extreme temperatures.

For optimal germination, a pre-treatment of smoke is recommended, although germination may occur without it.

Simply soak the seeds overnight and sprinkle them on the surface after sowing, then lightly cover with a porous seed raising mix.

Keep the soil moist and in a warm, shaded area until the seeds germinate in approximately 30-60 days.

Keep in mind that some native plant seeds are dormant until their natural environment occurs so they may take some extra time before germination.
