Callistemon Citrinus 'Splendens' or Bottle Brush plants are very easy to look after and reliably produce stunning, bright red bottle brush shaped flowers, usually in summer. Even without flowers, the deep green leaves are lemon scented if touched and is a very attractive plant. 

We have always found them very easy to grow and a simple winter mulch at the base with bark or similar will help. If growing in colder regions then protect from severe frost or grow in pots on a South wall and bring inside for winter. They will remain evergreen and require little attention except for an annual prune to keep it bushy for spectacular flowers. 

Available in a 12 Litre pot (1st picture shows larger plants flowering in summer), 90 cm tall including the pot height. The remaining pictures show ones in 12 litre pots. Smaller 3 litre plants are also available under a separate listing. 

We are a responsible nursery/grower and all plants will come with a UK plant passport. 


Postage policy - We stock a wide range of high quality plants and this listing is discounted for collection only from SY21 in Mid-Wales.


We originally established Plants-Direct as Easy Tropicals back in 2002 and produced and sold high quality exotic plants for 17 years. After a break, we're now back with the same ethos of only selecting quality plants. Please get in touch if you're unsure of any aspect of growing a  plant. 

Thanks.
