Callistemon - Better John

Better John™ bottlebrush is a neat, dwarf native shrub with soft blue‑green foliage and rich red brushes from spring, loved by bees and birds. Naturally compact and low‑maintenance, it's perfect for small gardens, borders, pots and low hedging, staying around 60–120 cm high with dense growth.
