Metrosideros excelsa

@MaryB: Having a garden is one big item on our to do list - our balcony is full and resembles a jungle now :-)
BTW, Metrosideros is not frost-resistant, so you might plant it in a tub and overwinter it at a cool (10°C) and bright location indoors - as we already do with our Hibiscus.

@Steven: The leaves are silver-green; a definite eyecatcher.

@Tracey: Awww, thank you so much!!! :-)

@Michael: Er mag keinen Frost. Wenn Du ihn im Kübel läßt und im Winter kühl (Treppenhaus?) überwinterst, wird's klappen.

@Margie: *lol* It's a small world! I'm a big fan of austral flora, so you won't be surprised that I own a Wollemi pine too :-) (And, of course, ferns. Many ferns.)

@akarui: If you let it grow without further pruning it becomes a tree with hundreds of flowers like this one.

@Jen: There are also varieties with yellow and white flowers available, but I think these red flowers are simply stunning :-)
