Callistemon Great Balls of Fire

Callistemon ‘Great Balls of Fire’ is a striking medium sized shrub that is becoming a mainstay of modern Australian garens. This cultivar rarely flowers but should be grown for its wonderful, bright pink to red new growth which is borne on a very compact, bun-shaped shrub. It grows well in a wide range of climatic conditions, from humid tropical areas to cool temperate climates. Once established it is dry tolerant, but it will appreciate deep watering in dry periods. It is hardy in diverse situations, and is a naturally easy care plant, that will really shine with a little bit of extra care such as a light pruning every now and again.

At maturity it grows to a height of around 1.5mt and with a similar spread, these plants online are ideal as a hedge with impact.
