How to grow Leptospermum 'White Cascade' in NZ

Leptospermum 'White Cascade' grows best in full sun with well drained soil and good airflow around the plant. Choose a sunny planting position to encourage dense growth and prolific flowering throughout the season.

This hardy shrub performs well in coastal conditions and many climates throughout New Zealand. Light pruning after flowering can help maintain shape and encourage healthy new branching growth.
