Leptospermum 'Pageant' grows best in full sun where it will produce the heaviest flowering display. It prefers well drained soil and performs particularly well in coastal and free draining sites throughout New Zealand. Avoid heavy wet soils, especially during winter. Water regularly while establishing, then it becomes relatively drought tolerant once roots are well developed. Choose a position with good air flow for optimal health.

Feed with a balanced fertiliser after flowering to support healthy growth. Lightly trim after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage bushy growth. Avoid hard pruning into old wood, as recovery can be slow.
