Callistemon 'Candy Pink' is a cultivar of the popular Australian native plant, commonly known as Bottlebrush. It is a small to medium-sized evergreen shrub that is prized for its showy flowers and attractive foliage.

The 'Candy Pink' cultivar is known for its stunning pink flowers that resemble candy floss. The flowers bloom in the spring and summer, and are highly attractive to pollinators like bees and butterflies. The foliage of the plant is dark green and dense, and the leaves are narrow and pointed.

In terms of growth, Callistemon 'Candy Pink' can reach a height of around 2-3mt tall and 1-2mt wide at maturity, although it can take several years to reach this size. It prefers well-draining soil and full sun to part shade, and is relatively drought-tolerant once established.

This cultivar is a popular choice for use in garden borders, as a specimen plant, or as part of a mixed planting scheme. It can be pruned to maintain a compact shape, and is generally low-maintenance and easy to care for. It is a great option for gardeners looking to add a splash of color to their landscape.
