Red Bottlebrush Tree
Scientific Name: Callistemon citrinus
Red Bottlebrush Tree is a striking evergreen ornamental known for its vibrant red, brush-shaped blooms and graceful weeping foliage. Blooming heavily in spring and often reblooming throughout the warm season, this eye-catching tree adds bold color and texture to landscapes, pollinator gardens, and patio areas.
Its unique flowers attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees, making it an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. The narrow green leaves release a pleasant citrus scent when crushed, adding another layer of garden interest.
Heat tolerant, drought tolerant once established, and easy to maintain, Red Bottlebrush Tree performs beautifully in warm climates and thrives as a specimen tree, hedge, or large container plant.
