Metrosideros collina (MB01) ‘Velvet Sky™’

Metrosideros collina ‘Velvet Sky™’ is a highly ornamental evergreen shrub celebrated for its extraordinary inky blue stems and rich blue-velvet foliage. The foliage appears almost artificially tinted, creating a bold, contemporary colour contrast that makes this plant a true statement feature in any landscape.

Its dense, compact growth habit makes it particularly well-suited for hedging, screening, or standout specimen planting. In addition to its dramatic foliage, Velvet Sky™ produces vibrant red staminate flowers that contrast strikingly against the cool blue tones of the leaves, adding seasonal brilliance.

Best colour intensity is achieved when grown in light shade with well-maintained soil conditions.
