Perfect for scrreening, or as a feature plant, this hardy variety attracts birds, bees, and butterflies. Like other bottlebrush plants, it is ideal for native and wildlife-friendly gardens.

Preferred Climate
Callistemon plants thrive in temperate, subtropical, and Mediterranean climates. They are drought-tolerant once established but also handle wet conditions well.

Plant in full sun to part shade with well-draining soil. Purple callistemon tolerates a variety of soil types, including sandy and clay soils, and adapts well to coastal conditions.

Mature Height and Width
Callistemon Purple Splendour typically grows 2–3 metres tall and 1.5–2 metres wide, making it perfect for medium-sized garden spaces or screening.

These young tubestock plants require regular watering until established. Once mature, bottle brush trees benefit from occasional pruning to maintain shape and promote flowering, along with seasonal mulching and fertilizing.
