Callistemon 'Pink Champagne'
A striking evergreen shrub with slender, lance-shaped, dark green leaves. Its standout feature is the showy clusters of soft pink to bright-pink bottlebrush-like flowers that bloom in late spring to summer. These flowers are densely packed with long, wiry stamens, creating a dramatic contrast against the foliage
Cultural
Thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, preferring slightly acidic to neutral conditions. It is drought-tolerant once established and can handle a range of soil types, though it performs best in soils with good drainage. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain its shape and encourages more blooms the following season. This variety benefits from occasional deep watering during dry spells, but it does not tolerate waterlogged conditions. It is suitable for coastal gardens, attracting pollinators like bees and birds.
Landscape Uses
Its striking pink flowers make it ideal for adding colour and texture to mixed plantings, while its bushy growth habit also makes it effective as a low hedge or informal screening plant. It works well in dry garden designs, wildlife gardens, or as a standout container plant for patios and balconies. Its tolerance for coastal conditions makes it an excellent choice for seaside gardens.
