Low Maintenance
Salt Tolerant / Coastal Suitable

A slow-growing NZ native tree renowned for its striking silver-green new growth, Metrosideros umbellata Silver Beacon produces masses of deep red flowers in mid-summer.

This attractive feature makes it excellent for attracting native birds to your garden. Prefers a sunny to partially shaded position with good drainage. Young plants are semi-hardy and benefit from frost protection until established. A beautiful and unique addition to native or wildlife-friendly gardens.

Metrosideros umbellata silver beacon has a good salt tolerance and is suitable for coastal garden settings.
