Metrosideros polymorpha var. dieteri

Dieter's ʻōhiʻa lehua is a rare Hawaiian endemic variety of Metrosideros polymorpha, prized for its striking red brush-like flowers and cultural significance in Hawaiian tradition. It requires well-drained, slightly acidic volcanic soils and is best grown outdoors in humid, subtropical or tropical climates that mimic Hawaii's native conditions. This slow-growing tree is a specialist plant and is not suited to indoor cultivation or cold climates.
