Callistemon viminalis 'Little Silver' PBR
DESCRIPTION: Dwarf evergreen native shrub, small smooth leaves with a slight silver tone (what a tongue-twister!); bright red small bottlebrush flowers in spring that are attractive to birds. Bigger, broader lighter leaves than Little John, and a slightly taller shrub; and reputedly hardier and faster-growing.
USE IN: Ideal for creating a low hedge, for rockeries and large tubs and as a specimen plant.
LOCATION: Very hardy and forgiving in all types of soil. Prefers full sun but will tolerate dappled shade. Will tolerate waterlogged sites and is drought tolerant once established.
CARE: Mulch and water regularly until the plant is established, usually around 12 weeks. Prune tips while young to encourage dense growth and fertilise with a slow release native fertiliser in spring.
HEIGHT & WIDTH: 90 cm H x 75 cm W.
YOUR PLANTS: These plants are tube-stock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80mm high and 42 mm wide
