Metrosideros fulgens 'Gold'
This liane or shrub when grown from seed will cling to a support to reach higher light levels.Once there it develops its adult foliage and flowers. When propagated as an adult plant it forms a bushy shrub with oval leathery green leaves on stiff branchlets. Masses of golden-yellow flowers appear in summer to winter. Eyecatching! It will tolerate some frost, grows in sun or semi-shade. Will not thrive in dry soils.
