Leptospermum scoparium aka Manuka

Leptospermum scoparium, commonly known as mānuka or New Zealand Tea Tree, is a species of evergreen shrub in the myrtle family Myrtaceae. Native to New Zealand and parts of south-east Australia, including the Chatham Islands, this plant has an upright habit with spreading branches. Its fragrant, narrowly elliptic leaves are deep green, sometimes tinged with red. During late spring to early summer, it produces abundant double flowers along the stems. These flowers have ruffled pale pink petals that fade to white around dark pink centers. Notably, the nectar of Leptospermum scoparium is used to create Mānuka honey. As a houseplant, the New Zealand Tea Tree is considered super rare and requires regular watering to thrive. It thrives best in long-lasting, direct light, ideally positioned within 1 foot of a window. Belonging to the Leptospermum genus, it is native to New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, and New Zealand.
