Metrosideros Tahiti
Metrosideros 'Tahiti', commonly known as Dwarf Pohutukawa, is a compact evergreen shrub prized for its vibrant red flowers and silver-green foliage. Growing to around 1 metre tall and wide, it’s perfect for coastal gardens, pots, borders, and low hedges. Flowering from late spring through summer, it attracts birds and pollinators while providing year-round structure. Hardy and low-maintenance, ‘Tahiti’ thrives in full sun, tolerates wind and salt, and suits a wide range of New Zealand climates.
