A beautiful evergreen shrub known as Metrosideros collina 'Little Dugald' produces loads of crimson, fluffy-looking blooms in the spring and summer together with glossy green foliage. Perfect for coastal locations, enduring wind and sea spray. Excellent for hedging, around pools, and in containers. roughly 2 metres tall and 1.5 metres wide. After flowering, lightly prune to maintain a tidy, bushy appearance. Mulch well to preserve moisture around the roots. Apply a slow-release fertiliser in the spring.
