Looks great #oznative

Gorgeous @jamesshobbs

Not an easy plant to grow. Looks really healthy. Any tips please?

Bottlebrush plant second flower of the year 😀 #bottlebrush #red #tropical

That's early 👌🏻

We just bought two standard plants they are really lovely

Love 😍

Looking forward to my bottlebrush flowering again ❤️🌿

@jamesshobbs Can this be grown in the UK? Specifically the Midlands? As it looks tropical!

Really lovely 👍

@IlsonRootsProject it can be but needs to be kept frost free

I've had one so far @jamesshobbs love mine it's so unusual

Josie, they aren't tropical and some Callistemon are quite frost hardy. I don't know how cold it gets in the Midlands but they grow in Australia in places where they get frosts. Here's a nice small one that would be easier to keep warm during your long, cold winters: http://paddockplants.co.uk/en/shrubs/226-callistemon-little-john.html @IlsonRootsProject

Josie, here's a list of this nursery's frost tolerant plants 25F-18F (-8C) which includes a number of Callistemon.www.australianplants.com/plants.aspx?filter=true&key=frost&value=2 @IlsonRootsProject

Bottle brush is in flower 🌸 love this plant #bottlebrush #red #flower

I can tell you must be in warmer climates! Mine sadly isn't showing any signs of flowering yet!

@jamesshobbs well done!! Nice display! 😃

Gosh you must have it sheltered. It's so cold here!
