Callistemon 'Weeping' Bottlebrush

This plant requires full sun (6+ hours) for optimal growth and maximum flowering. While they can tolerate partial shade, insufficient light often results in fewer blooms and slower growth. 

This plant requires consistent moisture to thrive, especially in the first year, needing weekly deep watering to establish. While drought-tolerant when mature, they prefer regular, deep irrigation every 10–14 days in summer for maximum growth, while requiring well-drained, moist soil to prevent root rot. 

Pruning is recommended after flowering to remove most of the spent flowers and encourage an attractive growth habit. We suggest Bond Drop Forged Pruner.

This plant needs food too! We suggest Espoma Tree Tone or Espoma Holly Tone. 

Proper nutrition is important to the health of your plant and its longevity. To ensure your plant is getting the appropriate nutrition, use a fertilizer labelled for this tree type and apply according to the label.
