Kunzea parvifolia – The Violet Kunzea

A medium sized shrub is an East Coast species that will reach around 1.5m in height. Very attractive Violet Pink flowers gives if the common name of ‘Violet Kunzea’. Flowers are rounded and appear from summer through to autumn, as terminal bracts. The flowers appear on long stems and can be used as cut flowers.

This is a species that will spread to form a rounded bush of about 3m in diameter over time, mostly smaller. Its natural habitat is in the Sclerophyll forests, although mostly found where it has access to some moisture.

A little more tolerant of moisture than some other species Kunzea parvifolia with its violet to mauve flowers and fragrant foliage is a wonderful addition to the garden.
