A relatively recent release, Metrosideros 'Dalese' is a low growing shrub that has small lime green foliage, growing in a compact habit. During summer this variety blooms red, petite flowers.
This densely growing plant is ideal for low hedges and borders, especially grown in front of a patio or along a driveway. Metrosideros 'Dalese' will thrive in a sunny position in well drained soil.
Flowers bloom all through summer, which grow amongst the foliage.
Once established it will withstand exposure to coastal conditions. Metrosideros 'Dalese' is relatively low maintenance. Prune as desired to encourage compact new growth. Water well during extended dry periods. Can grow to a height of 1x1.5 metres.
