A spreading or climbing variety of Metrosideros from New Zealand with deep green rounded leaves and an abundance of crimson flowers in spring making a spectacular sight. Best grown in semi shade in good moisture retentive soil in full sun. In coastal and other mild areas it should be planted in the garden, but in other areas makes a stunning conservatory plant in a large pot! Is hardy Hardy to -4oC. when established.
