Callistemon Wilderness White
Callistemon viminalis ‘Wilderness White’
Wilderness White gives a spectacular massed display with its gorgeous, large, white bottlebrush flowers. In native gardens and coastal landscapes it attracts nectar feeding birds and bees. Naturally rounded shrubs, Callistemons can be pruned to shape after flowering and are perfect for native hedging or as an open screening plant when allowed to grow naturally. They tolerate drought and light frost once established, and should be planted in well drained soil in a full sun to partly shaded position in the garden.
