Compact garden-friendly form of Callistemon pallidus, smaller all-around and with a soft colour palette. Happy in clay soils, coastal gardens, soggy spots - and if you struggle with bottlebrush frost-hardiness, give this one a try. It's reputed to be more cold-tolerant than most.

We love Silver Cloud for its unusual yellow flowers, gentle leaf colour, cold tolerance
