This evergreen plant can reach a height of around 2 meters and prefers well-drained soil in a sunny location. It is drought-tolerant and thrives in Mediterranean or coastal gardens. The Grey Form variety is known for its compact growth habit and dense foliage, making it a great choice for landscaping or as a feature plant. With its stunning color combination and hardy nature, Calothamnus Grey Form adds beauty and interest to any garden.
Is known as 'one-sided-bottlebrush' because the red, brush-like flowers are on one side of the stem. The leaves are linear, about 30 mm long and 1-2 mm wide. Flowers occur in one-sided clusters in spring and are usually bright red but yellowish forms are known. Flowers are followed by woody seed capsules which retain the seed for many years.
