Thyme Honey Myrtle (Melaleuca thymifolia) is an evergreen shrub that can grow up to 1 metres tall. It is harvested from the wild for local use as a medicine and source of materials. The flowers of the Melaleuca varieties produce sweet nectar and you can suck the nectar out, or soak the flowers in water to make a sweet drink.
Flowers are rich mauve in spring and summer and bluish-purple in early winter, flowers often open eight months of the year, freely around late November and then slowly till autumn when another flush occurs.
