Bottlebrush (Callistemon citrinus) is a popular small ornamental tree or large shrub grown across India for its striking cylindrical flower spikes of bright red, made up of many long stamens that resemble a bottle-cleaning brush. The narrow, lemon-scented leaves and gracefully arching branches give it a soft weeping habit. Flowering mainly in spring and again through the year in warm areas, the nectar-rich blooms draw sunbirds, bees and butterflies. Hardy, drought-tolerant and easy to grow in gardens or large pots, it suits lawns, borders and avenues alike.
