Callistemon Red Cluster Bottlebrush are evergreen shrubs with vigorous and upright growing habit. These dense shrubs are unique in the shape of their flowers and foliage. They bloom prolific cylindrical shaped crimson-red flowers resembling a bottle brush. Vibrant red flowers attract birds and bees as their beautiful prominent red stamens are just irresistible and healthy source of nectar.

Red Cluster Bottlebrush plants are ideal for shrub borders, courtyards and many other exotic gardens. Their spiked soft textured leaves grow on arching or weeping stems, adding a soft contrast to the red clusters of flowers.

These evergreen shrubs bloom flowers profusely in spring followed by a second bloom in autumn. Red Cluster Bottlebrush plants will bring vivid colours in different seasons, providing year-round interest to your garden.
