Callistemon Candy Pink
Callistemon Candy Pink is a bird attracting, quick growing shrub which bears masses of reddish pink, fading to pink, bottlebrush flowers throughout the year. A hardy plant tolerating boggy soils and very frosty conditions. Can be used for hedges, screens and in shrubberies. Callistemon Candy Pink is ideally planted where you can view the small native birds as they come to feed on its nectar. This, like most other Callistemons, does well with a pruning after flowering which will maintain its compact growth.
