Callistemon SLIM™ is a narrow, upright bottlebrush selected for its naturally slender growth habit, making it an ideal choice where space is limited. Producing masses of vibrant red bottlebrush flowers and attractive weeping foliage, it is perfect for screening, boundary planting, driveways and narrow garden beds. Hardy, fast growing and low maintenance, SLIM™ performs exceptionally well in Sunshine Coast gardens.
Flowers
Produces an abundance of bright red bottlebrush flowers during spring and summer, with repeat flowering often occurring throughout the year. The nectar-rich blooms attract honeyeaters, bees and other beneficial pollinators.
Foliage
Fine, soft green foliage with an attractive weeping habit provides year-round colour and movement in the landscape.
Fruit
Woody seed capsules develop along the stems after flowering and may remain on the plant for many years, adding additional interest.
