Why we love this plant!

The Pink Bottlebrush is a wildlife-friendly native shrub that produces striking pink flowers, attracting a wide range of birds, bees, and pollinators. Its dense growth habit provides valuable shelter and habitat for native species, supporting local biodiversity. Thriving in coastal and inland environments, it is a low-maintenance and resilient choice for gardens across South East Queensland, from Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast.

Care Considerations

Watering preferences:

  • Once established, drought tolerant, but deep watering in dry periods may encourage more flowering.

Mulching preferences:

  • Applying mulch around the base may help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Fertilising preferences:

  • While not necessary, a slow-release, low-phosphorus fertiliser may support healthy growth and flowering.

Pruning preferences:

  • Pruning after flowering may encourage a denser growth habit and more flowers in the following season.

Good to Know:

  • Hardy and adaptable to a range of conditions, including coastal areas.
