Callistemon linearis, or Narrow-Leaf Bottlebrush, is an evergreen shrub from Australia. It features long, slender leaves that give it a fine, feathery look. In spring and summer, the plant bursts with bright red, bottlebrush-like flowers. These unscented blooms attract bees and butterflies, adding lively movement to the garden. It doesn’t produce berries but forms small, woody seed capsules after blooming.

The Narrow-Leaf Bottlebrush grows between 2–4 meters tall and can spread up to 2 meters. It thrives in well-drained, sandy or loamy soil and loves full sun, which boosts flowering. While it tolerates partial shade, full sun produces the best blooms and leaf colour.

Wind-tolerant and hardy, this shrub adapts well to coastal gardens. It resists drought once established and manages tough coastal conditions, including salty air and strong winds. In colder areas, it may need some frost protection during harsh winters but performs well in mild climates.

Narrow-Leaf Bottlebrush is safe for gardens with pets and children, as it is non-toxic. This low-maintenance shrub works well for beginners and seasoned gardeners alike. With its striking flowers, it brings year-round colour and structure to borders, hedges, or as a focal point in garden designs.

Its adaptability, resilience, and bold colour make Callistemon linearis a top choice for both traditional and contemporary landscapes. It adds vibrant interest to any setting with minimal effort, providing beauty, pollinator attraction, and reliability across the seasons.
