Callistemon Perth Pink - 20cm Pot

Callistemon salignus ‘Perth Pink’ is a striking Australian native bottlebrush, valued for its soft pink flowers, glossy foliage and strong garden performance. Flowering mainly from late spring to early summer, it produces fluffy, bottlebrush-like blooms made up of fine pink stamens that create a soft, luminous effect in the landscape.

These nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to bees and honey-eating birds, making Perth Pink an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. Sporadic flowering may also occur at other times of the year, extending its seasonal interest.

With its upright growth and dense foliage, this variety is ideal for screening, hedging or feature planting. Its attractive bark and evergreen leaves provide structure and year-round appeal, whether used in native garden designs or as a standalone specimen.

Mature size: approximately 4 metres high × 3.5 metres wide

Care & Growing Tips
Plant in full sun to part shade in well-drained soil, though it will tolerate a wide range of soil conditions, including occasional waterlogging. While drought tolerant once established, regular watering during extended dry periods will encourage best growth and flowering.

Feed with a native fertiliser in spring to support healthy development. Prune after flowering to maintain shape, encourage dense growth and promote repeat blooming.
