It's a bit of a mystery how Callistemon Lavender Showers got its name, as its bottlebrush blooms are a vibrant hot pink - not lavender! This bushy callistemon flowers in spring and summer, and the flowers provide a striking contrast against the lavender-grey new foliage. Lavender Showers is a fantastic bird-and-bee-attracting native shrub for hedging or borders. Prune after flowering to promote another flush of colour and feed with a native fertiliser annually.
