Bottle Brush ( Callistemon plant )

Description

The Bottle Brush Plant (Callistemon) is a striking ornamental shrub or small tree, known for its unique, brush-like flowers that resemble a bottle cleaner. The vibrant red, pink, or yellow flowers bloom in cylindrical spikes, attracting pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and birds. Native to Australia, this plant is a popular choice in gardens worldwide, including India, due to its drought tolerance and ability to thrive in a variety of soil conditions.

Bottle Brush plants are typically grown for their bright and unusual flower structure. They are low-maintenance and can be pruned into hedges or grown as standalone plants. The plant prefers full sunlight and thrives in well-drained soil, making it ideal for sunny gardens. In India, they are often used in public parks, garden borders, and home gardens as an ornamental plant.
