Melaleuca linariifolia Sea Foam

Melaleuca Sea Foam is a fast-growing, hardy Australian native shrub known for its spectacular display of fluffy white flowers in late spring and summer. During peak flowering, the prominent clusters almost smother the fine foliage, creating a soft, frothy effect across the entire plant. It forms a dense, spreading shrub with soft, fine-textured foliage and develops an attractive papery, furrowed grey trunk as it matures. Highly appealing to nectar-feeding birds, bees and butterflies, it is an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. The flowers are also suitable for cut arrangements and are valued in honey production and fragrant oil uses. Its resilience makes it particularly well suited to coastal gardens, where it can be used as a feature plant or informal screen, providing both beauty and habitat in the landscape.
