Seeds from Melaleuca pulchella Pink Claw Flower. A very common and often dominant shrub grows 8-10 feet in height, growing in low-lying swampy areas. Flowers can often be found on shrubs at most times of the year, particularly after good rainfall. Plants respond to pruning and can be grown as a low hedge or screen. Good container plant. Hardy in zones 8-11. The Claw Flower is commonly grown as a garden specimen, probably due to its unusual flowers, small neat opposite foliage and the hardiness of the shrub to various environments.
