Bottle Brush

Callistemon’s care consists of regular watering while the plant is young and annual fertilization until it matures . It prefers full sun to partial shade. It’s best to plant it in a location that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight a day. Most bottlebrush varieties bloom over a long summer season in shades of red or crimson. You should water young trees weekly in the absence of rain, applying the water slowly to saturate the soil as deeply as possible. A layer of mulch over the root zone will slow the evaporation of water and help prevent weeds.
