Why we love this plant!

A striking bottlebrush with vivid red flowers, Callistemon 'Endeavour' is a magnet for nectar-feeding birds, bees, and butterflies. Flowering multiple times throughout the year, it thrives in South East Queensland’s climate, handling heat, humidity, and occasional dry spells. Its dense, upright growth makes it a good option for hedging, screening, or as a standalone feature plant. It also contributes to local biodiversity, providing shelter and food sources for native wildlife while adding a bold pop of colour to the landscape.

Care Considerations

Watering preferences:

  • Moderate watering; drought-tolerant once established.

Mulching preferences:

  • Applying organic mulch helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

Fertilising preferences:

  • Generally not necessary; if needed, use a low-phosphorus native plant fertiliser.

Pruning preferences:

  • A light prune after flowering can help maintain shape and encourage dense growth.

Good to Know:

  • Attractive to nectar-feeding birds such as Rainbow Lorikeets (Trichoglossus moluccanus) and various native bees.
