Burgundy Queen Tea Tree - Leptospermum scoparium ‘Burgundy Queen’
Wine-red double flowers cover the stems of this Leptospermum scoparium (manuka) selection through spring, set against fine, aromatic foliage with a bronze to burgundy cast. That leaf colour deepens through the cooler months and holds through summer. It is planted for that dark, saturated tone, which reads as a solid block of colour in a native border or along a boundary hedge.
Why Burgundy Queen Tea Tree
Double wine-red flowers: Layered petals give each small bloom the look of a miniature rose, and they crowd the outer growth for weeks in spring.
Dark foliage: Bronze-toned leaves hold their colour between flowering seasons and sharpen silver and lime planting nearby.
Upright, defined shape: It grows as a dense, upright shrub rather than a sprawling one, so it keeps a clean outline in a bed.
Cutting stems: Flowering branches last well in a vase, and a light harvest as the flowers fade doubles as the annual trim.
Hardy once settled: Established plants take wind, light salt exposure, frost and dry spells without fuss.
Ideal Applications
Native colour border: Repeated through a mixed native bed, it gives a deep red anchor between grey-leaved grevilleas and tufting native grasses.
Flowering boundary hedge: A row of these gives a dense, dark-leaved line along a side boundary or front fence, red with flowers each spring.
Set-back accent: Its fine leaves are prickly, each ending in a hard, sharp point, so a single shrub is best set a step back from paths and letterboxes, where it still gives strong spring colour without taking much ground.
Open, breezy positions: Suits elevated, wind-swept and cooler gardens, where it flowers hardest and keeps its dense shape.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 0.8 to 1m
Spacing (feature/avenue): 1.5 to 2m
Best Planting Season: Autumn or early spring, so roots settle before the humid months
Soil & Drainage: Sharply drained, slightly acidic soil; lean ground suits it better than a rich bed, and heavy clay should be mounded before planting
Establishment Care: Through the first summer, soak the root zone deeply whenever the top few centimetres of soil dry out, keeping water off the foliage; after that, rain carries it except in a long drought. Shape it as the last flowers brown, keeping every cut within the leafy growth, because manuka does not reshoot reliably from bare stems. In humid South East Queensland it needs full sun and free air movement, since still, damp air thins the centre of the shrub.
