Leptospermum Tickled Pink - 20cm Pot

Leptospermum ‘Tickled Pink’ is a vibrant Australian native shrub that delivers a spectacular burst of colour in spring. True to its name, this variety becomes smothered in masses of bright pink flowers, creating a stunning feature that instantly lifts the garden.

With a naturally upright, bushy habit, Tickled Pink is ideal for screening, hedging or feature planting, and responds well to pruning for a more formal shape if desired. Its dense growth also makes it a great option for adding privacy and structure.

The nectar-rich flowers attract bees and beneficial insects, making it a valuable addition to pollinator-friendly gardens.

Mature size: approximately 2 metres high × 1.5 metres wide
(can be maintained at around 1 metre × 1 metre with pruning)

Care & Growing Tips
Plant in full sun to part shade (at least 4+ hours of direct sun) in well-drained soil. Tickled Pink is highly adaptable and thrives in most free-draining soils, including coastal and exposed conditions.

Water regularly while establishing, then reduce, as it becomes drought tolerant once mature.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage a more prolific display the following season. This variety responds well to shaping, making it suitable for both informal and formal hedges.

Space approximately 1 metre apart for hedging or screening
