How to care for Leptospermum scoparium Martini:
Find a warm, sheltered spot for this frost-hardy evergreen, preferably with the protection of a sunny wall. After flowering, lightly trim or prune back shoots to maintain symmetry. Protect during freezing conditions with a double layer of horticultural fleece and a thick insulating mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the roots.
