Description:
Callistemon ‘Tangerine Dream’ is a vibrant, medium-sized bottlebrush featuring soft green foliage and masses of unique tangerine-orange flower spikes. A hardy and fast-growing Australian native, it’s ideal for hedging, screening, or as a feature shrub, providing a burst of colour and attracting birds and pollinators throughout the warmer months.
Flowers:
Bright tangerine-orange bottlebrush flowers bloom in abundance during spring and summer, with sporadic flowering at other times. Rich in nectar, the blooms attract birds, bees, and butterflies.
Foliage:
Soft, mid-green lance-shaped leaves create a dense canopy, providing year-round greenery and a perfect backdrop for the vivid flowers.
Fruit:
Woody seed capsules may form after flowering and remain on the stems for extended visual interest.
