Silver Cloud callistemon is a small, dense shrub with striking silver-grey foliage and plum-coloured new growth. Bundles of sweetly perfumed creamy yellow brushes cover the foliage in spring. Following a prune, the new silver growth flourishes over the next few months. Silver Cloud is an attractive specimen for narrow screening or hedging; plant in multiples as a background or edging for water areas.
