Bottlebrush Sweet Burst™ 200MM

Callistemon citrinus 'CNU15' Sweet Burst™

I am Bottlebrush Sweet Burst™. My family originated from Australia.

Habit Shrub - Bird and Bee Attracting
Plant family Myrtaceae
I am a delightful compact bottlebrush featuring soft baby pink flowers from the start of autumn well into spring. I can flower at any time of year but am most prolific during spring. Well suited to small gardens, low hedging, borders, rockeries, and as a small feature plant. I am also a good choice for planting in pots and containers. My blooms are a magnet for nectar feeding birds. I make a great feature or specimen plant either container planted or out in the garden. I work well mass planted or as a screening hedge. I am hardy in most soils including boggy ones and thrive in coastal conditions and exposed locations.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
My compact form is ideal for a pot or other container and I am just as happy planted out in the garden
My beautiful baby pink bottlebrush blooms start in early autumn and continue through winter well into spring
I attract honey eaters, spinebills and other small nectar feeding birds for which I provide food and habitat
