| Posted by plantladylin (Sebastian, Florida - Zone 10a) on Sep 23, 2011 6:56 PM Callistemon rigidus is an erect, evergreen shrub that can attain heights to 15 feet and can be trained as a standard or used as a hedge. Callistemon ridigus prefers a full sun location but will do well in partial shade. The beautiful red bottle-brush shaped blooms appear in the spring and summer months and attract butterflies and hummingbirds. [ Reply to this comment | |
