Better John BottleBrush
Better John BottleBrush
Bright, beautiful and that perfect pop of color your garden needs, the Better John Bottlebrush plant has a versatile, compact size that is ideal for small gardens or areas of your yard. The dense, hardy, drought-resistant branches are covered in small, lovely blue-green leaves and feature blood red blooms that cover the top and easily attract beautiful hummingbirds to your garden. Line up several of these incredible shrubs to create a hedge, bunch them together as ground cover or let the red pop while using these as an accent plant; any way you plant it you’ll be sure to love the result. Requiring full sun, blooming from Spring to Summer, and once established requiring very little watering unless it’s during extreme heat, the Callistemon citrinus will slowly reach up to 3 feet tall and 5 feet wide with proper care.
A very healthy bush packed well. Our daughter was born in Australia and lives in the Florida Keys and was sad when they had to remove a mature Bottlebush Tree when the added a pool. This is to be a container version by the pool and she was very pleased to receive the bush.
