Size and Shape:
A large vigorous shrub/small tree growing to 4 to 6 metres high by 2 metres wide, Callistemon 'Kings Park Special' has a neat, narrow domed shape.
Features:
Has a profuse display of red Bottlebrush flowers in Spring and early Summer. The narrow green leaves are dense, with soft velvety new growth after flowering. Bird attracting.
Uses in the Landscape:
Due to its compact size, the Kings Park Special Bottlebrush is an ideal plant for where space is limited, such as narrow strips or under powerlines. Makes a spectacular feature tree in small gardens, but also excels as a screen. Forms a neat hedge with or without pruning, but will respond well to pruning, after flowering, with thicker growth and increased flowering the following season.
Comments:
Whilst drought tolerant when established, will thrive in soils that are moist, well drained and slightly acidic. Great for coastal and exposed conditions, Callistemon 'Kings Park Special' prefers a sunny position, and is frost hardy.
