Callistemon Injune Pink

Common Name:
Injune Pink Bottlebrush

Description:
Callistemon 'Injune Pink' is an Australian native shrub admired for its graceful weeping habit and abundant candy-pink, bottlebrush-like flowers that bloom primarily in spring, with potential additional displays in summer and autumn. The blossoms often fade to cream as they age, adding a dynamic visual interest. New growth emerges with a silvery hue, contrasting beautifully with the mature green foliage. This versatile plant thrives in a variety of soil conditions, including boggy areas, and is well-suited to Melbourne's climate, tolerating full sun to part shade, as well as frost, wind, drought, heat, and coastal conditions. Regular pruning after flowering can encourage a more compact form, though if left unpruned, 'Injune Pink' will develop a graceful, weeping shape, making it an excellent choice for screening or as a small feature tree. Additionally, it attracts birds, bees, and butterflies, enhancing the biodiversity of your garden.
