A much branched shrub, with profuse clusters of rose pink flowers. Easily grown in just about any position, but thrives and flowers best in full sun, with additional summer watering. Callistemons are known to adapt well to dry conditions or poor drainage. Prune immediately after flower flushes, just behind the finished head, to keep compact, and encourage more flowers. Very attractive to nectar feeding birds, and when in full bloom, is a most attractive sight.
