Bottlebrush (subulatus)
(Callistemon subulatus)

Evergreen compact slightly pendulous shrub (1.2m x 2m) from NSW and Vic. Narrow linear leaves. Crimson red bottlebrush flowers in spring and summer. Useful feature or mass planted for its showy flowers particularly in a damp area. Bird attracting. Prune to maintain form, especially if planted in a shady spot. Will flower better in full sun, but will still perform in some shade.
