CALLISTEMON CITRINUS

₹27.00

Callistemon citrinus, popularly known as the Crimson Bottlebrush, is an evergreen shrub or small tree famous for its vibrant red, bottlebrush-shaped flowers that bloom prolifically during spring and summer. The lemon-scented foliage and nectar-rich blooms attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Native to Australia but widely cultivated in India, it is drought-tolerant and ideal for gardens, hedges, or ornamental displays. Supplied in a 1-inch net pot — plant directly with the net pot into a larger container or in the ground.
