Kunzea flavescens is a spreading shrub, occasionally a small tree, from south-east Queensland that grows on rocky ridges in heath and open woodland. It is a native Australian species rarely grown outside its range, so care depends on matching its dry, well-drained rocky habitat.
Kunzea flavescens is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to Queensland. It is a spreading shrub which has egg-shaped leaves and groups of white or cream-coloured flowers on the ends of the branches in September and October.
Growing on rocky ridges in heath and open woodland, K. flavenscens occurs in a few areas in south-east Queensland including near Crows Nest and Biggenden Bluff in the Mount Walsh National Park.
