New Zealand Tea Tree ‘Ruby Glow’ (Leptospermum scoparium)
2 reviews
$16.95
2.5" Pot Size
Ruby red flowers smother the stiff stems, looking like an artistic dried arrangement. Plus, the aromatic foliage makes this winter to spring bloomer a prize. However, beauty alone did not make ‘Ruby Glow’ popular. It was its medicinal properties used to prevent scurvy that Captain Cook discovered by boiling the foliage for his sailors to drink. That’s where the common name of New Zealand Tea Tree comes from. ‘Ruby Glow’ is best grown in an acidic potting medium (peat moss and perlite mixture) with low levels of fertilizer. Prune no later than August for best flowering. It’s also a great plant to train into a standard.

Rose My New Zealand Tea Tree arrived earlier than expected. Very nice specimen! Plants are always well-packed, if they come from Logee's.
Very pleased!!!
Thank you so much, Rose! We're thrilled your New Zealand Tea Tree Ruby Glow arrived ahead of schedule and in perfect condition — that beautiful foliage is such a showstopper, and we love hearing when plants arrive ready to thrive in their new homes. Your kind words about our packing mean the world to us, and we can't wait to see how your Ruby Glow grows and develops over time. Happy planting!

Sandy It's branching very well and looks like a tiny bonsai tree right now. I'm excited to see it grow and flower.
