How to grow Leptospermum 'Little Bun' in NZ

Water regularly during the establishment period so the plant develops a strong root system.

Leptospermum 'Little Bun' care tips

Leptospermum 'Little Bun' is easy to maintain once established. Water during extended dry periods, particularly while plants are young. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain a compact rounded shape and encourages fresh growth. Applying mulch around the base helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Feeding with a general garden fertiliser in spring will support healthy foliage and strong flowering.

Leptospermum 'Little Bun' size, spacing, and growth rate

Leptospermum 'Little Bun' typically grows to around 1 metre tall and about 1 metre wide when mature. Growth is moderate and plants gradually form a dense rounded shrub. When planting several shrubs allow about 1 metre between plants so each plant has room to develop fully and airflow can move through the foliage. With good sunlight and reasonable soil fertility plants establish quickly.
