- Ideal plant to attract pollinators
- Unusual yellow bottlebrush flowers and highly aromatic
- Emitting a lemon scent when crushed
Behold this delightful bottlebrush, an ideal plant to beckon pollinators with its distinctive yellow flowers, shaped like a bottlebrush. Highly aromatic, its leaves release a refreshing lemon scent when crushed. A compact variety, it's perfectly suited for smaller gardens and containers. Train it up a trellis to create a stunning wall display.
For best results, plant your Callistemon in a sheltered spot with moist, well-drained, non-alkaline soil, ensuring it basks in full sunlight. This Callistemon variety thrives outdoors in milder regions and coastal gardens, withstanding temperatures down to 5°C (41°F). In colder climates, consider growing it in a cool conservatory or a patio container, allowing you to move it to a warmer location during winter.
Prune your bottlebrush lightly in autumn after the flowering period. Trim the stems to maintain the desired size, removing any damaged, crossing, or unruly growth. Callistemon plants are resilient and can tolerate occasional hard pruning for rejuvenation if needed. Regularly deadhead the faded flowers to encourage a prolonged display.
Supplied as 1 x 9cm pot. Expect a height and spread of 100cm. Flowering period: May to July. Position: Full Sun. Please note: This product cannot be delivered outside the United Kingdom.
