Report an issue with this species
Kunzea are mostly shrubs, sometimes small trees, endemic to Australasia. They typically have small, crowded, aromatic leaves and flowers with stamens longer than petals. Some species exhibit a delicate, weeping habit, silver-green foliage, and peeling bark, making them low-maintenance and tolerant of coastal conditions.
