Callistemon Bottlebrush Red Alert 180MM

Callistemon – Bottlebrush ‘Red Alert’ – 180MM

(Not currently available to be ordered)

I am Callistemon ‘Red Alert™’. My family originated from Australia

Botanic Name: Callistemon viminalis ‘KPS38’(PBR)

**Bushy – Bird and bee attracting**
Rarely flowering I feature an amazing display of vivid red new growth during autumn and spring fading to lighter shades at other times of the year. Being hardier and more drought tolerant than many exotic hedging alternatives I make an excellent low maintenance hedge. I can be pruned to formal shapes but have with natural good form and I am a good screen unpruned. Hardy and adaptable I happily tolerate light frost and dry conditions while still being a good choice for heavy soils that are occasionally waterlogged.

	Full Sun to Part Shade (4+ hours of direct sun)
	Height: 3m Width: 2m (Can be kept trimmed to Height: 0.6m Width: 0.5m)
	I need minimal water once established
	Australian Native
	Suitable for coastal planting, I grow in most soils including those that are occasionaly water logged

I am popular and will make you happy because…

	I am a small native shrub with a dense habit making me a natural choice when screening is needed
	I produce masses of bright pink blooms in spring which are a magnet for birds, bees and beneficial insects
	My new growth is highlighted with pink and orange before maturing to green providing year round colour

in pots and other containers
in garden beds and general landscaping
to be cut flowers to be enjoyed indoors
as a screening hedge
in coastal conditions

Tips for success…

	I develop good form without pruning but respond well to being clipped suiting me to formal and informal hedges
	Plant me 1m apart when when creating a screening hedge
	100% Recyclable Pot and Label Most pots and labels made from 100% recycled polypropylene
