Callistemon rigidus

Another baby badly needing to be planted. But this is a real treasure. Evergreen sun-lover. Not fully hardy but proving quite tough. It bears the famous red bottle-brushes in summer, and grows into quite an elegant small tree/large shrub. Meditteranean style plant.

Very attractive, Karen, even without the flowers.

Thanks Sheila. Yes, it’s a great evergreen for sunshine.

It happens Klahanie. This one has been ok so far, but I know it’s a risk. I don’t wrap anything up in winter.
