Callistemon: A Touch of the Exotic in British Gardens.
Callistemon, more commonly known as the bottlebrush plant, brings a dash of exotic flair to the British garden. Originating from Australia, these striking plants are renowned for their vibrant, bottlebrush-like flowers in shades of red, pink, white and occasionally yellow. Their unusual blooms, with hundreds of tiny bristle-like flowers, make them an instant conversation starter, adding a tropical feel to even the most traditional garden. Despite their exotic origins, Callistemon can thrive in the UK when planted in a sunny, sheltered spot, providing a bold, distinctive look that draws the eye and brightens up any space.
