Pink Manuka - 500 seeds - Leptospermum scoparium - from New Zealand

Description

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.
