Bottlebrush plants (Callistemon spp.) get their name from the spikes of flowers that bloom at the ends of the stems, bearing a strong resemblance to a bottle brush.
The bottlebrush tree, despite its name, is actually a shrub. It is most often grown as a large shrub or shaped into a small tree with particular pruning.
The common name of bottlebrush refers to the plant’s blooms, which are a spiked flower sitting at the very end of a stem, looking remarkably like a brush used to clean bottles or jars.
Made up of many individual blossoms, these flowers are typically produced in various shades of red
Grow them as shrubs or small trees that grow up to 15 feet.
Most bottlebrush varieties bloom over a long summer season in shades of red or crimson.
