Callistemon species are commonly known as bottlebrushes due to their cylindrical, brush-like flowers. They are found in temperate regions of Australia and prefer moist conditions, though some species are drought-resistant. Bottlebrushes can be propagated through cuttings or seeds, and flower most often in spring and early summer with stamens and inconspicuous petals in various colors like red, yellow, green, orange or white.

Bottlebrush
INTRODUCTION Callistemon species are commonly referred to as bottlebrushes because of their cylindrical, brush like flowers resembling a traditional bottle brush. Callistemons can be propagated either by cuttings (some species more easily than others), or from the rounded seeds.
• The obvious parts of the flower masses are stamens, with the pollen at the tip of the filament; the petals are inconspicuous. • Flower heads vary in colour with species; most are red, but some are yellow, green, orange or white. • In India, bottlebrush plants/trees are grown in gardens. Their leaves have a lovely fragrance which gets released on crushing the leaves with hands.
• Each flower head produces a profusion of triple-celled seed capsules around a stem which remain on the plant with the seeds enclosed until stimulated to open when the plant dies or fire causes the release of the seeds. (A few species release the seeds annually.) Bottlebrush seed capsules

CLIMATE • They are found in the more temperate regions of Australia, mostly along the east coast and south- west, and typically favour moist conditions so when planted in gardens thrive on regular watering. However, at least some of the species are drought-resistant. • Flowering is normally in spring and early summer(October–December), but conditions may cause flowering at other times of the year.
