Metrosideros Velvet Sky Details

Metrosideros Velvet Sky is a coastal, NZ native shrub that is grown for its flowers and foliage. It produces stunning, crimson red flowers in summer which are complemented with ink-blue foliage. This evergreen grows densely to 3 m tall and 2 m wide and responds well to trimming, making it perfect for hedging. It performs best when planted in full sun on a well-drained site, and tolerates poor soils, dry periods, moderate frost once established, and coastal environments. Metrosideros Velvet Sky is an excellent choice for coastal gardens, growing as a small specimen, adding to mixed plantings, or trimming into a hedge. This plant is aesthetic year-round, low maintenance, and very rewarding.
