Metrosideros Parnell

Pohutukawa

Metrosideros Parnell is a variety of Pohutukawa grown for its lovely display of bright red flowers through summer. Both the flowers and resulting berries are great for attracting birds. It carries attractive, blue-green, glossy foliage which provides a lovely accent to the flowers. It typically grows to 6 m tall and 3.5 m wide but can be contained with trimming. Metrosideros Parnell is an excellent choice for coastal gardens, adding to mixed plantings, trimming into a hedge, using as a backdrop for smaller plants, for screening, for shelter, or growing as a specimen.

Metrosideros Parnell care

Metrosideros Parnell 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.
