CALLISTEMON rugulosus-5g
Scarlet Bottlebrush
Family: Myrtaceae
Characteristics: Small shrub 2 m spread 1.5 m
Seed per packet: Approx 200
A small bottlebrush to 2 m high with deep red flowers occurring in spring. The flowering is prolific and the shrub is both drought and frost tolerant. Easy to grow and a must for any garden.
Native to the states of South Australia and Victoria.
Prefers a light to heavy soil in a protected moist position.
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 rugulosus.
