The Bottlebrushes are among the hardiest garden subjects. Flower colour ranges from shades of red, pink, mauve, yellow to white.
An additional attraction is the brightly coloured foliage which ranges through pink, crimson, bronze to gold ‑ rivalling the autumn foliage of deciduous trees.
Natural cross breeding has resulted in some very desirable hybrids.
Callistemon like moist soils but will also grow in drier conditions. Full sun will enhance their flowering. The honeyeaters will quickly find the nectar rich flowers which appear twice a year.
Pruning can be severe (best done soon after flowering) and benefits both the shape and longevity of the plant. The bottlebrushes are ideal windbreaks.
