It has proved to be an extremely hardy shrub, tolerant of both well-drained and damp conditions, and is thus recommended for new gardens or exposed positions.
lt makes an excellent informal hedge or windbreak and is salt-resistant. Leaves are stiff, triangular and sharply pointed, being held alternatively and at right angles to the stem, hence its specific name.
The flowers have five petals, mostly a delicate shade of *pink, paling to white on the outer rim and base. Pure white and much deeper pink forms do exist. Flowers are 16 mm in diameter (about the size of a 5c coin) and give the plant its common name of Peach Blossom Teatree. Flowering begins in autumn and persists through winter, sometimes even into spring.
Its colour can therefore be appreciated when little else is flowering in the garden, making it a must for the flowering garden.
For best flowering results, L. squarrosum should be planted in full sun, with good drainage, and watered well during dry spells.
