Description:
Callistemon ‘Icy Burst’ is a compact and eye-catching Australian native shrub known for its brilliant white bottlebrush flowers and fine, dense foliage. With a naturally tidy form and bright green new growth, this hardy variety is ideal for low hedging, borders, and native garden designs. Its crisp white flowers and compact habit offer a refreshing twist on traditional red-flowered bottlebrush types.
Flowers:
Pure white bottlebrush flowers bloom profusely in spring, with spot flowering possible in warmer months. The blooms are nectar-rich and attract bees, butterflies, and birds.
Foliage:
Fine, narrow green leaves form a dense, bushy shrub. New growth is soft and bright green, adding seasonal interest and colour contrast.
Fruit:
Small woody seed capsules may form after flowering, adding subtle texture.
