Bring a spectacular splash of exotic colour to your garden with this great value pack of 3 individual Callistemon rigidus Red Bottlebrush Shrubs, supplied as large, established plants approximately 3–4ft tall, each grown in its own individual 3 litre pot by Direct Plants. Carefully grown and selected at our award-winning family nursery in Norfolk, these striking evergreen shrubs are prized for their unusual bright red bottlebrush-shaped flowers, narrow aromatic foliage, and impressive architectural appearance.
Commonly known as the Bottlebrush Plant, Callistemon rigidus produces its unmistakable cylindrical flower spikes during late spring and summer. Each spectacular bloom is made up of masses of vivid red stamens, creating the distinctive bottlebrush appearance that makes these plants such an eye-catching feature.
The vibrant flowers contrast beautifully against the slender evergreen foliage and are highly attractive to bees and other beneficial pollinating insects. With their exotic appearance and evergreen structure, Bottlebrush shrubs are particularly effective in sunny borders, sheltered courtyards, Mediterranean-style gardens, and large patio containers.
This great value pack contains 3 large individual plants, making it ideal for creating a coordinated display or positioning separately around the garden as striking feature specimens. Their established 3–4ft size provides excellent immediate impact compared with much smaller young plants.
Supplied as three strong, healthy, well-established plants, each in its own 3 litre pot, these premium specimens provide instant height and many years of outstanding ornamental interest.
(Callistemon rigidus – Evergreen Ornamental Shrub, approximately 6–10ft / 1.8–3m at maturity depending on growing conditions and pruning)
Spring:
Fresh evergreen growth develops as the plants prepare for their spectacular flowering season.
Late Spring & Summer:
Striking cylindrical flower spikes packed with brilliant red stamens cover the plants, creating the famous Bottlebrush effect.
Autumn:
The narrow evergreen foliage continues to provide attractive colour and architectural structure after flowering.
Winter:
Evergreen foliage provides valuable year-round interest. In colder locations, plants benefit from a warm, sheltered position away from severe frost and cold drying winds.
Habit:
Develops into an upright, bushy evergreen shrub with distinctive foliage and spectacular flowering stems.
Callistemon performs best in a warm, sunny, sheltered position with fertile, well-drained soil. In colder or more exposed parts of the UK, container growing can be particularly useful as plants can be given additional winter protection when necessary.
