Leptospermum Crimson Glory is a compact, evergreen shrub with reddish-bronze foliage and double crimson-red flowers that bloom in late winter and spring. It is a cultivar of the common native Mānuka tree (Leptospermum scoparium) and is known for its hardiness and suitability for difficult ground. 2-3 metres.
Prefers full sun or partial shade and well-drained, moderately fertile soil. It tolerates coastal conditions and can be planted in exposed locations once established.
Cultivation Tips:
Sunlight: Full sun is ideal for best flower and growth results, but it will also tolerate partial shade.
Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil is preferred, but it can adapt to various soil types.
Watering: Water freely during the growing season and sparingly in winter. Young plants require thorough watering during dry periods.
Fertilizing: A light dressing of general-purpose fertilizer in spring can be beneficial.
Pruning: Prune lightly after flowering to encourage bushy growth.
