You Garden Hardy Callistemon 3L Potted 'Bottlebrush' Plant

This native of Australia has more going for it than just its stroke me qualities, with tiny leaves that cover its arching branches, releasing a delicious lemony scent when brushed. Arching branches provide all year-round interest, wherever you plant it, perfect as a specimen in the lawn, grown against a wall or fence, or planted in large pots.

A real sun lover, give it the brightest spot possible. You need to water bottlebrush for its first season, but when established plants are extremely drought tolerant. Protect it in colder winters by covering with fleece or grow in pots so it can be moved indoors (a shed, front porch, garage or conservatory would be ideal).
