Callistemon Purple Splendens

Common Name: Purple Splendens Bottlebrush

Availabilty: In Stock

The Purple Splendens Bottlebrush is a gorgeous evergreen Australian native bearing truly striking bright purple bottlebrush flowers generously throughout the warmer months. This medium shrub has the classic green Callistemon foliage, while new growth is an attractive pink.

Growing 1.5 to 2 metres tall and about 2 metres wide, this pretty girl is ideal for hedging, specimen planting, borders, screening or windbreaks Don't let her dainty appearance fool you though, she is tough (frost, drought and wind tolerant), hardy and low maintenance to boot! A non-invasive root system means that she can be planted close to walkways or buildings, in fact plant near the house to attract birds, as the flowers are highly attractive to local bird and insect life (as well as the keen gardener of course *wink*).

Hardy to drought and wind, tolerates frost. Most well drained soils.  Full sun to part shade. Attractive to birds and insects.
