Callistemon Citrinus

Callistemon citrinus is an evergreen shrub native to Australia, with deep green leaves and unique red flowers that appear in abundance in spring and continue throughout summer. Each flower looks like a small bottlebrush – a curious detail that gives it personality and charm.

This plant is perfect for bringing life and color to outdoor spaces during the warmer months. In addition to its aesthetic value, it attracts bees and other pollinating insects, promoting biodiversity in your garden or balcony.

It loves direct sunlight, tolerates drought well once established and adapts to both pots and the ground, making it a versatile and easy-care choice. You can prune it to control its size or encourage new blooms. The leaves release a subtle citrus aroma when touched, adding another sensory element to the experience of having this plant.

Investing in ornamental plants such as Callistemon citrinus in the spring and summer months not only beautifies your spaces but also creates more relaxing, fresh and lively environments. Having plants outdoors is a simple and natural way to reconnect with nature, even in the middle of the city.
