Callistemon viminalis Hot Pink 17cm

This is a fabulous new colour addition to the amazing Bottlebrush family. No prizes for guessing where they get their name from, their classic, spring flowers zing with intense colour. Usually red, this is the first widely available Pink, and what a neon pink it is too!

Each flower is made up of thousands of thin petals, each pollen rich, so become a mecca for bees and butterflies early in the season. Flowering in spring and early summer, it is great to attract early season pollinators to fruit - and sometimes has a mini flush of flowers again in autumn.

Grow in a pot in a warm and sunny spot, in a well-drained mix. A half-hardy shrub, give winter protection in colder, windier spots, as early leaves and growth can be damaged.
