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

Leptospermum 'Outrageous' care tips

Leptospermum 'Outrageous' is relatively easy to care for once established. Water during extended dry periods, particularly while plants are young. Light trimming after flowering will help maintain a compact shape and encourage 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 abundant flowering.

Leptospermum 'Outrageous' typically grows to around 2 metres tall and about 1.5 metres wide when mature. Growth is moderate and plants gradually develop into dense shrubs with fine foliage. When planting multiple shrubs allow around 1.5 metres between plants so they have space to develop fully and airflow can move through the foliage. With good sunlight and suitable soil plants establish quickly.
