Callistemon sieberi 'Sugar Candy'
Callistemon sieberi 'Sugar Candy' is a bird attracting, quick growing shrub which bears masses of superb pink, bottlebrush flowers in spring ant again in late summer. A hardy plant tolerating many soil types and frost.
Can be used for hedges, screens and in shrubberies. It is ideally planted where you can view the small native birds as they come to feed on its nectar.
This, like most Callistemons, does well with a pruning after flowering which will maintain its compact growth.
