Metrosideros villosa 'Tahiti'

An excellent garden, tub and patio plant with lots of flower and foliage colour. Brilliant red flowers burst from conspicuous red buds from late autumn through to spring. As leaves mature, they change from silvery-green to a grey silver providing a stunning contrast to the flowers.

Loves the sun. Needs good drainage. Frost tender when young. Grows to 1.5m x 1.5m. Could do with a trim to keep tidy.

These are in a 1.5 Ltr pot. Please note the photo is not a good representation of the ones in stock. They are younger plants and over winter with the cold the leave are almost a red colour until summer when the new growth will come through.
