Melaleuca armillaris, or Bracelet Honey Myrtle, is a handsome, fast-growing evergreen for effortless structure and year-round appeal. This striking shrub or small tree features soft, dark green, needle-like foliage and masses of creamy white, cylindrical “puffball” blooms. The flower buds blush pink before opening to reveal soft, creamy-white brushes up to 7 cm long, creating a delightful contrast against the deep green leaves. As it matures, the bark develops rich texture and character, furrowing and peeling in the classic paperbark style that adds visual interest through the seasons. Its dense, upright growth makes it ideal for hedging, screening, or as a handsome stand-alone feature in the garden. Regular trimming keeps the foliage lush and vibrant and encourages fresh new growth.
