Callistemon Taree Pink is an easy-care native with a compact habit, fresh lime-green foliage and spectacular, brilliant pink bottle-brush flowers. Flowers appear year-round with a heavy flush during spring. Like most callistemon, they attract nectar-feeding birds and insects to your garden. Prune after flowering to promote another flush of colour and feed with a slow-release native fertiliser yearly.
Soil: Moist but well-drained soils are best. Add organic matter to help maintain access to moisture.
Conditions: Choose a sunny location though a little shade throughout the day will be well tolerated - too much shade will encourage it to become sparse and rangy. Drought, frost and coastal tolerant.
Size: Height 3m x width 2.5m
