How to grow Leptospermum 'Cygnus' in NZ

Water regularly during establishment then reduce watering once plants are settled.

Leptospermum 'Cygnus' care tips

Leptospermum 'Cygnus' is easy to care for once established. It is drought tolerant and requires minimal watering. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain a compact shape and encourages bushy growth. Avoid heavy fertiliser as this can reduce flowering. Apply mulch around the base to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds while keeping it clear of the trunk.
