Carousel Pohutukawa, Metrosideros carminea Carousel

Metrosideros carminea Carousel is commonly known as NZs Red Carpet. It carries glossy leaves which are dark green with a yellow margin. The foliage is adorned with masses of small, red flowers through spring and summer which nestle themselves into the foliage as it grows to 75 cm tall and 1.5 m wide. Metrosideros Carousel is commonly included in a mixed or border planting, planted around outdoor living areas, planted around the base of larger trees, or maintained in a container. A mass planting gives an impressive display and is the best way to showcase this variety.
