White Bottle Brush (Callistemon salignus)

Callistemon salignus, the White or Willow Bottlebrush, is a graceful, elegant, medium-sized shrub or small tree that produces distinctive, creamy-white to pale yellow bottlebrush-like flower spikes, in contrast to the more common crimson varieties. Its narrow, willow-like leaves and pendulous branches give it a refined, airy appearance. Like all callistemons, it is highly drought-tolerant and beloved by nectar-feeding birds including sunbirds. It is a superb choice for informal hedges, mixed ornamental borders, and as an attractive specimen shrub in wildlife-friendly gardens.
