Leptospermum lanigerum Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Succeed in almost any neutral or acid soil of good or reasonable quality, preferring a light sandy loam and full sun[200]. Prefers a position sheltered from hot or cold drying winds[200]. Another report says that it tolerates fairly exposed positions and that has been our experience with it[K]. Hardy to at least -7°c in Australian gardens, where it succeeds in sun or shade, it only succeeds outdoors in mild areas of Britain, requiring the protection of a wall in colder parts. Plants are hardy to about -15°c in Britain[184]. Polymorphic[157]. There are two distict forms grown in Britain, one with smallish greyish leaves is sometimes known as L. cunninghamii, the second form has larger narrow glossy green leaves[219]. Plants seldom grow taller than 2m in Britain. Resents root disturbance[200]. Does not regenerate from old wood[200]. Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[200].
