Growth—

Kunzea muelleri is moderately cold-hardy, tolerating occasional winter temperatures down to about -7°c in Australian gardens^[1], though it rerquires hot summers for the wood to ripen fully and does not do well in areas where the winter is wet^[PFAF]. Plants require cool greenhouse treatment in Britain^[2]. They succeed outdoors on the Isles of Scilly. Requires a sunny, well-drained position^[1]. 200
