Callistemon - Bottlebrush
Known as bottlebrushes because of the shape of their flowerheads, the 25 species of Callistemon are evergreen shrubs endemic to Australia. Cultivated throughout the temperate and subtropical regions, they mostly have red flowers in dense, nectar-rich cylindrical spikes. The branch tips extend beyond the flower spikes, leaving long-lasting, woody seed capsules that eventually become embedded in the thickening branch. Many species have a somewhat weeping habit and a few have striking papery bark. Many hybrid cultivars have been named, most of uncertain parentage, with flowers mainly in the white, pink to red shades.
