Callistemon Inferno ('Yanferno') (PBR)
weeping bottlebrush
This richly coloured bottlebrush is said to be hardier than many of the other forms, which makes it ideal for planting out in a sunny, sheltered spot in milder regions.
Relatively compact in stature, its upright and aromatic, linear, leafy stems are topped with distinctive poker-like heads of bright crimson flowers from mid-spring. These will usually appear in profusion over several months, really putting on a mouth-watering display - while at the same time, attracting birds and bees from far and wide.
In colder regions, grow it in a larger pot, so it can be moved to a sheltered spot when the temperatures start to dip. Callistemon prefer neutral to acidic soils.
