Metrosideros Tahiti is an outstanding dwarf variety of Pohutukawa due to its compact form, attractive foliage, and showy flowers. New foliage emerges with a silver colouring and matures to become grey-green. The foliage serves as a lovely complement to the clusters of red-orange flowers as it grows to 1 m tall and the same wide. Metrosideros Tahiti is an excellent choice for coastal gardens, adding to a mixed planting, or mass planting for a wonderful display. This dwarf Southern Rata also suits container growing, being trimmed into a low hedge, including in a border, or being planted around outdoor living areas.

Metrosideros Tahiti Details

Metrosideros Tahiti is an outstanding dwarf variety of Pohutukawa due to its compact form, attractive foliage, and showy flowers. New foliage emerges with a silver colouring and matures to become grey-green. The foliage serves as a lovely complement to the clusters of red-orange flowers which are borne throughout the year. It typically grows to 1 m tall and the same wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of poor soils, dry periods, light frost once established, and coastal climates. Metrosideros Tahiti is an excellent choice for coastal gardens, adding to a mixed planting, or mass planting for a wonderful display. This dwarf Southern Rata also suits container growing, being trimmed into a low hedge, including in a border, or being planted around outdoor living areas.
