CALLISTEMON phoeniceus (pink fls) 5g
Fiery Bottlebrush
Family: Myrtaceae
Characteristics: Small shrub 2.5 m spread 1.5 m
Seed per packet: Approx 200
A vivid pink flowered variety of Callistemon phoeniceus that is one of only two Callistemon species which occur naturally in Western Australia. Although native to a dry summer climate, the species has been grown successfully in the wetter summer conditions of Australia's east coast.
Indigenous to Western Australia.
Prefers a medium to heavy soil in a warm sunny very moist position, salt tolerant but drought and frost tender.
Note: A paper by Lyn Craven of the Australian National Herbarium in 2006 argues that the differences between the genera Callistemon and Melaleuca are insufficient to warrant them being retained separately and that they should be combined. As Melaleuca has precedence some Australian state herbaria use the name Melaleuca phoenicea.
