In summer, established plants produce clusters of vivid scarlet-red, bottlebrush-like flowers with prominent stamens that are both dramatic and exotic in appearance. Originally from the Kermadec Islands, it thrives in mild, sheltered, and coastal UK gardens where it makes a handsome specimen or large container plant. In cooler inland areas, it is best grown under glass or in a very sheltered, frost-free microclimate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOther benefits:\u003c\/b\u003e striking variegated foliage year-round, exotic summer flowers, suitable for coastal gardens, good container specimen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWildlife attraction:\u003c\/b\u003e the nectar-rich flowers attract bees and hoverflies when in bloom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight \u0026amp; spread (approx.) at 10 years:\u003c\/b\u003e 2m x 1.5m in favourable conditions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePosition:\u003c\/b\u003e full sun; sheltered from frost and cold winds; ideal for mild coastal gardens or a warm, protected wall\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil pH:\u003c\/b\u003e neutral to slightly acid; well-drained, sandy or loamy soil\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMoisture:\u003c\/b\u003e moderate; well-drained conditions preferred; do not allow to dry out completely in summer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinter hardiness:\u003c\/b\u003e frost tender; protect from temperatures below approximately -3°C; overwinter under glass in most UK gardens\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cedar Nursery - Plants and Outdoor Living","offers":[{"title":"5 litre","offer_id":56986873004410,"sku":"897575","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.landscaping.co.uk\/products\/metrosideros-kermadecensis-sunninghill-v","provider":"Cedar Nursery - Plants and Outdoor Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
