Manuka is a slow-growing shrub that can reach up to 4 meters in height. It is distinguished by its small dark green leaves and its pretty white or pink flowers which bloom during the summer. Native to New Zealand, manuka has played an important role in Maori culture for centuries. Maori traditionally used different parts of the plant for their medicinal properties. Manuka is a pioneer plant capable of growing in inhospitable lands and nutrient-poor soils. It thrives in well-drained soils and is resistant to drought conditions. This ability to adapt makes it a valuable plant for the preservation of the New Zealand ecosystem. _________ Directions for use: Perfuming essential oil for skin use to be diluted in vegetable oil.
