I bought this about 2 months ago and it's been in flower ever since. It seems to thrive on neglect and drought. A couple of times I was tempted to think it was artificial  I'm very impressed, but what is it? ??   |

hi N.L.it looks like a leptospermum, there are quite a few cultivars. can't see if the flowers are double, there is one called red damask. it is frost hardy

Hi Nolawn
Yes, I think that beanie is right - my neighbour has been given one - the flowers lasted ages he says.
Yours certainly looks healthy even if it has been neglected a little.

Thanks. Now you've said it that is what I was told but forgot to write it down  When it's finished (there are still buds to come, and it is double, beanie) I'll cut it back a bit and feed it, and hopefully it will bush up. Would it prefer acidic feed, does anyone know? |
