A vigorous and striking hybrid between Northern and Southern Rātā, Metrosideros Rustic Beauty features reddish stems, deep green foliage and masses of stunning rusty-red flowers around Christmas time.

This fast-growing evergreen is ideal for adding bold colour and native texture to gardens or large containers. Prefers a sunny to part-shaded position in fertile, well-drained soil. Water well during dry summer months and shelter young plants from heavy frost. An excellent choice for native gardens, screens or coastal plantings.
