Lemon Bottlebrush (Callistemon Pallidus ) 200 Seeds
Lemon Bottlebrush, is a widely grown ornamental plant which has performed exceptionally well in cultivation and is useful as a specimen or screen plant and will withstand moderate exposure to salt laden winds.
Bottlebrushes make excellent garden plants.Plants are all woody shrubs which range from 0.5 m to 4 m tall. The flowers can be spectacular and are irresistible to nectar-feeding birds and insects. Most species are frost tolerant.Many species can tolerate (or thrive in) damp conditions, yet most are very hardy and will tolerate drought and limited maintenance. They grow well in a wide variety of soils, except those which are highly alkaline.
Plants grown in full sun produce the best flowers.
Plants can be lightly pruned after flowering to keep them in shape. A low-phosphorous fertiliser should be applied in spring and autumn. Mulching will help retain soil moisture and reduce weed growth.
Many Callistemons can tolerate less than perfect drainage but usually perform best in gardens with reasonable drainage and regular availability of water. Callistemons respond to well to annual fertilising after flowering and are not as sensitive as some other Australian plants to phosphorus.
A wonderful Bonsai subject also.
