Description

The Bottle Brush Tree (Callistemon citrinus) is a striking evergreen shrub or small tree native to Australia, known for its vibrant, brush-like flowers that resemble a bottle brush. These bright red flower spikes, which bloom primarily in spring and summer, attract pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, making it a lively addition to gardens. The narrow, citrus-scented leaves give the plant its species name “citrinus” and release a lemony aroma when crushed.

Typically growing 10 to 15 feet tall, but sometimes taller with age, the Bottle Brush Tree can be shaped as a dense shrub or pruned into a small ornamental tree. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerates drought once established, and can handle light frost. Hardy and low-maintenance, it’s a favorite for hedges, screens, or focal points in landscapes. Its showy blooms and adaptability make it a popular choice in Mediterranean, tropical, and subtropical gardens.
