Callistemon glaucus | Growing + Care Guide Australia

Last week I featured the Callistemon citrinus, this week I am featuring the Callistemon glaucus.

Callistemon glaucus Features

This Callistemon species is a great choice for a hedge or screen. It grows best in cool or temperate conditions, being native to the South West of Western Australia. Very hardy, will handle most soil conditions and likes to have full sun. 

Growing Callistemon glaucus

This is a great bird attracting Bottlebrush that is really quite easy to manage. Like most other bottlebrush, trim to desired shape and size after the flowering season.

I have seen this species grow and fill out quite quickly which means if you are trying to grow a hedge, this is definitely a good starting point.

• Callistemon phoeniceus
• Callistemon ‘Great Balls of Fire’

A great choice for anywhere along the South of Australia and it really does do particularly well in its native South West of Western Australia (between Perth and Albany).
