CALLISTEMON HITCHENBROOK 150MM

This cultivar is a free flowering plant growing to around 1.5-2 metres in height by a similar spread.
Although of tropical origin, C."Hinchinbrook" is a hardy and adaptable garden plant in sub-tropical and temperate climates. Its massed flowering and growth habit make it suitable to smaller gardens. It tends to grow with a bushy habit but can be pruned fairly hard to promote busy growth if needed. Like most callistemons, it prefers a sunny position in the garden and can tolerate less than perfect drainage but best performance will be obtained in gardens with reasonable drainage and regular availability of water. Callistemons respond to well to annual fertilising after flowering and are not as sensitive as some other Australian plants to phosphorus.
