Leucopogon (Australian Heath) & Lissanthe (Australian Heath)

Australian Heaths belong to an almost unknown genus within the heath family (Ericaceae). They are mostly perennial scrambling or trailing subshrubs with pubescent or glabrous, narrow lanceolate to needle-like leaves on thin woody stems and small, usually white to pale rose or yellowish flowers. They are easily grown in any rich, well drained soil in a sunny spot throughout the year. In winter keep plants slightly drier at a minimum of some 15°C.
Sow seeds flat at a minimum of some 20°C throughout the year in any very well drained soil. Keep seedlings in full sun and carefully water.
