Crimson Bottlebrush - Callistemon citrinus 'Endeavour'

Callistemon citrinus 'Endeavour' is a vigorous evergreen Australian native shrub celebrated for its thick cylindrical crimson flower spikes that appear heavily in late spring and summer, with repeat flowering often occurring in autumn. Highly reliable and easy to grow, this variety forms a dense shrub ideal for hedging, screening, feature planting and wildlife friendly landscapes. Nectar feeding birds flock to the abundant flowers. Like most bottlebrushes, 'Endeavour' is tolerant of a wide range of soil types and performs well in coastal, suburban and low water gardens.

Key Features:

• Soil: Adaptable to most soil types, provided drainage is adequate.
• Light: Full sun to semi shade, with best flowering in sunny positions.
• Watering: Medium, water during establishment and long dry spells.
• Fertiliser: Apply a low phosphorus slow release fertiliser if required.
• Maintenance: Light pruning after flowering maintains density.
• Flowering: Summer through to late winter flowering season.

Plant in raised or free draining positions and avoid high phosphorus fertilisers to ensure long term plant health.
