This is one of the commonest Melaleucas in cultivation. it is a tall slender shrub with soft yellow-green foliage. The white bottle-brush flowers have a strong scent of honey. It grows easily from seed. I have three shrubs in my garden, all grown from seed, flowering and attracting the birds each summer. It grows naturally, along the coast of New South Wales and in the extreme East of Victoria.
