Leptospermum scoparium - Manuka - with pink flowers. 


The seeds are very small and fragile, so handle them gently. This is a manuka species that has prolific amounts of pink flowers in spring. The plant requires a spot with good drainage and neutral or acidic pH soil.


Manuka has antifungal, antiviral and antibacterial properties.


Plant these in bulk on top of the soil or potting mix, because many of them will not sprout because the plant produces many seeds not all of which are viable but it is impossible to tell which from their appearance. Do not cover the seeds with soil or potting mix just place over the surface and keep the soil or potting mix damp. Seeds take about 50 days to germinate. 


You have the option of sending via regular air mail or expedited shipping. If you need a tracking number, please choose the expedited shipping option even though it is more expensive, because if you opt for regular mail, I cannot provide tracking. 


If your address is in South America, Arabian Peninsula or Africa you MUST choose expedited shipping. Normal mail often does not seem to get to these destinations from New Zealand. 


Expedited shipping takes less than 1 week worldwide. Regular mail to the rest of the world (apart from the above geographical regions) often takes 4-6 weeks. Please do not complain if you haven't received your seeds after 2 weeks. If you live in Greece, or neighbouring countries please be aware that it is not unusual for regular mail from New Zealand to take 8 weeks to reach you.
