Brief History:

Metrosidero Copa is a charming shrub belonging to the Myrtaceae family, known for its beauty and resilience. Native to the southern regions of Australia and New Zealand, it has captured the hearts of gardening enthusiasts worldwide. Its history traces back to the Australian lands, where it has long been used as a nectar source for birds and as a beautiful cut flower in floral arrangements.

Description:

This compact shrub boasts a delightful appearance, with growth reaching heights of 150-180 cm and a width of 90-150 cm. Its flowers, a standout feature, attract birds with their abundant nectar and are also ideal for floral arrangements. Metrosidero Copa is a perfect choice for small gardens, borders, low hedges, or screens, as its compact shape adds a vibrant touch to any landscape.

Caring for Your Metrosidero  - Watering and Fertilization:

Metrosidero Copa thrives in acidic, moist, well-drained soils and is comfortable in full sun or lightly shaded areas. While it can tolerate drought, it grows best with regular watering to maintain its splendor. Proper fertilization in spring and summer will help keep it healthy and vibrant.

This shrub is versatile when it comes to adapting to weather conditions. It can tolerate both cold and hot climates, making it suitable for a wide range of climates and garden settings. However, in extremely cold climates, it may require additional winter protection.

One of the advantages of Metrosidero Copa is its resistance to pests and diseases.
