Melaleuca nesophila (Showy Honeymyrtle)

There was a comment on the previous mention of Melaleuca nesophila which sent me to the books again and Australian Plant Society informatiom.

This very hardy plant reads almost like the perfect plant to grow. Apart from not liking severe frost, it will grow practically anywhere. The information says that it will tolerate salt spray, acid to very alkaline soil and lime. Many Melaleucas will grow in quite damp soils and this is one of them, as well as growing in very dry conditions. It also takes hard cutting and trimming which makes it ideal for wind breaks and hedges. Apart from that it is also a very pretty plant.
