Callistemon 'Candy Burst' (Medium 200mm pot)
$30.00
Candy Burst is a semi-compact native bottlebrush that covers itself in dark candy-pink brushes every spring. Its fine foliage keeps it soft and full, and the flowers bring native birds and bees into the garden. Tough and low-fuss, it copes with Canberra's frosts and dry summers once established.
- Mature size: Approx. 1-1.2m H x 1-1.2m W
- Foliage: Fine, mid-green, evergreen with bronze new growth
- Flowers: Dark pink bottlebrush blooms, spring
- Growth habit: Semi-compact, dense and rounded
- Position: Full sun to part shade
- Climate: Frost hardy, drought tolerant once established
- Water needs: Regular water for the first few months; drought tolerant once established
- Soil: Copes with most soils, including heavier clay. Dig in gypsum clay breaker to help drainage. In pots, use Native Osmocote Potting Mix.
- Feeding: Osmocote Native in spring, or Neutrog Bush Tucker as a liquid feed. Seasol at planting helps it settle in.
- Maintenance: Low; light prune after flowering for a bushier shape
- Ideal for: Low hedging, feature planting, mass planting, large pots, bird-friendly gardens
