Bottlebrush (Callistemon)

When given the proper care and attention bottlebrush can delight you with a gorgeous shrub or tree full of vibrant color in spring and October thru December. Bottlebrush tend to like heavy watering, regular pruning, and full sun; however,
there are some species that are drought tolerant.

Bottlebrush range from three to ten feet in size. They are available in dwarf, shrub and can be trained into a standard form. Bottlebrush are evergreen, add another texture to your landscape, and butterflies and hummingbirds are attracted to them thereby beautifying your garden in more ways than one.

Fall is a great time to plant bottlebrush. Planting in fall will give it time to acclimate to its new environment before the cold weather sets in. They tend to be slow growing; so come on by and select the one that is just right for your garden; and enjoy it for years to come.
