Those tough, versatile and colourful natives we all know and love as bottlebrushes.

Bottled Up

When it comes to beautiful, versatile Aussie plants, callistemons are up there with the best of them. Commonly called bottlebrushes because of their uniquely shaped flowers, they’re a popular plant in many gardens and very attractive to birds, so it’s not uncommon to see honeyeaters hanging off the branches, feeding on the nectar-rich blooms.

The showy flowers are followed by clusters of small woody fruit, which can hang around for ages, but plants are best pruned after flowering to maintain good shape. The young growth on some varieties is also attractive, with flushes of pink, red or bronze new leaves.
