Habitat:

A cultivated variety, Callistemon 'Firebrand' does not occur naturally in the wild. The parent species, Callistemon citrinus, is native to eastern Australia, growing in open forests, along watercourses, and in coastal areas

Leaf information:

Fine, green foliage that is soft and narrow

Preferred Soil:

Prefers well-drained soils. Will tolerate a variety of conditions, including poor soils, but thrives in slightly moist to moderately dry environments

A compact and vibrant bottlebrush, 'Firebrand' features striking red flowers that bloom prolifically in spring and summer, attracting birds, bees, and other pollinators. Its fine, green foliage and dense growth habit make it ideal for hedging, mass plantings, or as a standout feature in small gardens. Hardy and low-maintenance, it thrives in a wide range of conditions.

Care Considerations:

Requires low to moderate watering, becoming drought-tolerant once established. Organic mulch is recommended to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilise with a low-phosphorus, native plant fertiliser during the growing season to encourage vigorous growth and flowering. Pruning after flowering helps maintain a compact shape and promotes more blooms.
