The Leptospermum varieties like this seems to have 'eyelashes' whereas the Geraldton wax is less so. There are a few different cultivars listed for Leptospermum. They all look pretty much alike. 'Pageant' 'Daydream' 'Aphrodite' ????

I thought it was the Geraldton Wax too.... 🤔

The reason for the similarities is because they are both in a 'Leptospermum alliance'

Thanks, a friend mentioned Geraldton wax too but the leaves are not needle like, so was confused @brightcolours @deekay @Muzz67 @leisel @KariSamuel

Yes, love leptospermums @brightcolours Still planning how to do the front bit. At the moment there are some plants with tiny blue flowers but it is overcrowded smothering some parts of the plants
