Callistemon salignus Details

Callistemon salignus, commonly known as the White Bottlebrush or Willow Bottlebrush, is an evergreen shrub renowned for its attractive foliage and bottlebrush-like flowers. Masses of the showy, cream-white flowers are borne from spring through summer, and are great for attracting birds and bees. New leaves emerge bright pink and turn mid-green as they age. It typically grows to 4 m tall and 3 m wide but is often pruned back after flowering. This variety grows best when planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. Callistemon salignus tolerates a wide variety of climatic conditions, including frost and coastal environments, as well as most soil types, barring extreme wet or dry. This makes it an easy to grow plant which is also low maintenance. The White Bottlebrush is commonly used for screening and shelter, grown as specimen, included in a mixed planting, or clipped into a hedge. For hedging space plants 60 cm apart.
