Metro iron is an evergreen shrub with rapid growth. Its leaves are gray-green or yellow-green - panacea (depending on the variety of the plant). There are other varieties with leaf color only green or only gray. Its flowers are impressive, deep red in color, which are very similar to the flowers of the artist and appear in late spring (May - June).
It thrives in coastal areas, which it prefers. Withstands wind and coastal plantings. It grows in sunny places. It can withstand even planting in rocky areas. It needs fertile and well-drained soils. When planted in the ground, after the second year, it grows very quickly. It has a strong root system, which is very expansive. It can not withstand frost. It is sensitive to cold.
Metrosiderus does not have high watering requirements. Be careful with its fertilization, we add liquid flowering fertilizer in the spring season, every 2 weeks to enjoy its flowers. There is still no need for special pruning every year except to remove the dried flowers after the end of flowering.
