Bottle Brush Pink Champagne
Callistemon citrinus ‘Pink Champagne’
Aptly named, the Pink Champagne Bottle Brush shows off its glory with a spectacular massed display of bottlebrush flowers that start out vibrant warm pink with gold tips and change to soft pink, then finally to a pale blush pink as they age. This beautiful plant is ideal as a clipped hedge and in massed plantings. Very hardy and forgiving in all types of soil, it prefers full sun but will tolerate dappled shade. Prune after flowering and apply a slow release native fertiliser to promote dense growth habit and prolific blooms.
