Huge 6" Red blooms that attract butterflies and hummingbirds regularly! Grows like a tree out of a Dr. Seuss book! Very prolific here in West Coast Central Florida! As usual, winner will receive a bonus!
Some info from Seminole County Extension office on Red Willow Bottlebrush:
The “bottlebrush” belongs to the genus Callistemon, which means “beautiful stamens”. There is no doubt that it is a perfect description of the bright red flower spikes. This small tree is native to Australia and belongs to the Myrtle family which includes Eucalyptus, guava, Surinam-cherry, Rose-apple and Myrtle. Hummingbirds frequently visit their flowers. The weeping bottlebrush has become a very popular garden specimen in Florida, California and Hawaii. The lemon bottlebrush, with leaves that have a citrus scent when crushed, is also used extensively in Florida, more commonly in north Florida than in the southern part of in the State. The showy bottlebrush is more appreciated because of the longer flower spikes that can be up to six inches in length and have gold tips on the stamens.
Thanks and best of luck!
