Description:
Flora Burst is a show-stopper with its masses of red Bottlebrush flowers in spring: it has more flowers than most Callistemons! In many parts of Australia, Flora Burst is a repeat bloomer in autumn. This is a much tidier, self cleaning form of Callistemon. The reason is that far less seed pods are left on the foliage after flowering. As an added feature, this shrub also displays rustic red new growth on its foliage in spring and autumn. Dimensions: Approximately 2m tall x 1.5m wide. Uses: For hedges, mass plantings and specimen plantings.
