Calothamnus is a genus of more than 40 species, all of which are found in south Western Australia.
Prefers lightly sandy well-drained soil in an open sunny position, drought and frost-resistant.
Calothamnus sanguineus occurs naturally in the regions of the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest, Mallee, Swan Coastal Plain, and Warren in Western Australia.

Although Calothamnus seed can be sown year-round in many parts of Australia, the best time for sowing Calothamnus seeds is during spring to early summer in temperate climates. It is best to avoid sowing during the coldest and hottest months.
Calothamnus seeds are tiny.
Under the right conditions, germination typically occurs within 14-28 days at temperatures between 18-22°C.
