Award-winning Callistemon salignus (White Bottlebrush) is an upright evergreen shrub or small tree adorned with a dense foliage of willow-like leaves, 2-3 in. long (5-7 cm), which emerge bright pink to copper. The plant is covered with dense spikes of creamy-yellow flowers that resemble bottlebrushes in late spring and early summer. The blooms are a copious source of nectar for birds and hummingbirds. White Bottlebrush is an excellent garden and street tree. It is best to keep this plant at least 30 ft. (9 m) away from any buildings as the vigorous root system can lift paving.
