Kunzea

Kunzea is a genus of evergreen shrubs found in Australia's coastal and mountain regions. These plants typically display small, needle-like leaves, which help in reducing moisture loss in sunny, windy habitats. The fluffy, clustered flowers of kunzea, ranging from white to pink, bloom profusely and are particularly attractive to pollinators. Adapted to poor, sandy soils, kunzea thrives in environments where other plants might struggle.

Water: Kunzea, indigenous to Australia's arid regions, thrives with minimal moisture and exhibits notable drought tolerance, needing watering every 2-3 weeks. Preferring well-draining soil, kunzea flourishes in open landscapes, relying on natural rainfall patterns rather than frequent watering.

Propagation: Propagation of kunzea can be done through seed sowing or cuttings, requiring adequate light, consistent temperature, and well-draining soil. Collect seeds post-flowering or use semi-hardwood cuttings with rooting hormone. Maintain humidity with regular misting for optimal rooting success.
