Callistemon violaceus

Brilliant fragrant fuchsia bottlebrush blooms almost all year long are your reward with this extra showy selection growing to an impressive 10’ high and 8’ wide. When it’s young it’s a bit freeform and wispy, but as it matures it looks more like a multi-trunk tree with a nice, rounded canopy. Very pretty as an ornamental “tree” in a bed or large container. Flowers most profusely in late Winter into Spring when the tips of the branches become encased in stunning, hot-pink blooms several inches long. Flowers sporadically throughout the rest of the year. Much loved by bees, butterflies, and hummers. Plant in well-draining soil for best health.
