(Pot Sz: 3" pot; Ht: 4")

¤ evergreen shrub to 8'
¤ plant in sun
¤ hardy to zone 7b

An Australian shrub with needle-like leaves and a bottle-brush-like flower. Unlike many other Callistemon species, this one grows natively in boggy moist areas and can tolerate typical NC wet, humid, summer conditions better than its xeric brethren. But it is also drought tolerant. Prior to blooming, the developing buds are covered with attractive pink-bronze bracts.
