Growing leptospermum Cardwell Pink

The nursery directory is the only source read for this form, and its notes are a trade description, not a botanical reference. Its page is headed for Leptospermum flavescens 'Cardwell' and says the Cardwell form has the best weeping habit, so its figures may be for Cardwell forms generally and not the pink one alone.

Position. Full sun to a little light shade for part of the day; by the directory it flowers best in full sun, and deep shade significantly reduces flowering.

Soil and water. A humus-rich, well-drained soil, though it says the plant tolerates poorer sandy soils and short periods of wet soil. It calls the plant drought tolerant once established and needing little extra care, warns that every variety dislikes having its roots disturbed, so it advises against digging near them, and suggests a light spring feed of slow-release native plant fertiliser.

Frost. Very mild frosts only, by the directory. No botanical reference read rates this form for frost; the Cardwell page gives what the references say for the species.

Using leptospermum Cardwell Pink

The directory suggests it as a feature plant, given a little room for the arching stems, as a low hedge or a screen, and for mass planting in commercial landscaping; by its account the flowers are carried the length of the stems. Worked from its spread of about 2 m, plant a screen at about 2 m centres. The directory adds that the Cardwell form is the one with the best weeping habit and so the most sought after. For the species, for Cardwell's north Queensland origin and for why it is grown from cuttings, see Cardwell.

What to check before you buy

The directory gives the flowers as pink or white, the colour depending on the form. Where flower colour matters to a planting, confirm the colour with the grower before ordering. No botanical reference read describes Cardwell Pink, and the Australian Plant Census treats Leptospermum flavescens as a synonym of Leptospermum polygalifolium. The price table on this page shows the sizes growers list, and the HortOS guide to nursery pot sizes explains each size. Stock crossing a state border moves under the state and territory biosecurity rules on moving plants and soil.
