Callistemon sieberi

Sugar Candy dazzles with its delightful candy-pink brushes, brimming with nectar, and attracts honeyeaters from near and far. This striking shrub puts on a fantastic show in early spring and again in late summer, proudly standing tall. It's an excellent choice as a standout feature plant, and it works beautifully for both formal and informal hedging. The new leaf growth is a lovely silvery hue, adding its own charm to the display. You can shape the plants as you wish through pruning, but if you prefer a more relaxed look, simply give them a light trim after the flowers fade and nourish them with a low-phosphorus fertiliser suitable for Australian plants.
