Properties and uses:
The Slender Honey-Myrtle (Melaleuca gibbosa) is often found by the sea, as this bush is resistant to both drought and rain. It has small blue-green leaves, like heather. The essential oil of Niaouli is extracted from this aromatic foliage.

The Slender Honey-Myrtle adapts to most soils, whether they are dry and poor or moist and well-drained. It also tolerates slightly limey soils.

The flowers are mauve and in small cylindrical spikes. They are also melliferous and attract pollinators, which emphasizes biodiversity in gardens. The Slender Honey-Myrtle can be planted in open ground where weather is mild. Where the weather is colder, it is better to plant it in pots and protect it from cold winter winds.
