Metrosideros Carousel

Metrosideros carminea Carousel

Metrosideros 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.

Metrosideros Carousel care

Metrosideros Carousel is generally very easy to care for, thriving in New Zealand’s coastal and temperate climates. It prefers a sunny position and well-drained soil, though it can tolerate poor soils, clay, and even rocky ground. Once established, it is very drought-tolerant and also highly resistant to salt spray and strong winds, making it ideal for coastal planting. Regular watering is needed during its first couple of summers to help it establish, but after that, natural rainfall is usually enough. Pōhutukawa benefits from an occasional light trim if shaping is needed, preferably after flowering, though mature trees often need little to no pruning. It’s a good idea to mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, but avoid piling mulch against the trunk. Feeding is rarely necessary, but a general-purpose fertiliser in spring can encourage lush growth, especially for younger or potted plants.
