Melaleuca diosmifolia is so named because it's foliage is a little 'diosma' like, which is a bit hard to see however its common name 'green honey myrtle' certainly refers to the abundant green bottle brush flowers it bears in spring. Green honey myrtle' is a native of the south coast region of SW Western Australia but is planted extensively throughout other regions elsewhere in Australia.

Melaleuca diosmifolia (green honey myrtle) is a dense large shrub to around 4 metres in height with at least a similar spread. It is hardy and adaptable and an ideal screen. It's natural habitat near the coast would explain why this species has a relatively low tolerance to very heavy frost, particularly as a small seedling.
