Pink melaleuca (Melaleuca nesophila) is a shrub for low maintenance planting and hedges. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It stays evergreen and tolerates drought and salt. Bees and birds visit it.
