Callistemon hybrida ‘Kings Park Special’ (Kings Park Bottlebrush)

Callistemon hybrida ‘Kings Park Special’ is a stunning, fast-growing, evergreen shrub or small tree, prized for its vibrant red bottlebrush flowers and ability to attract birds, bees, and butterflies. It is a hybrid variety of the Callistemon genus, commonly known as Bottlebrush, and was developed in Australia, particularly for its outstanding floral display and adaptability.

Key Features

  • Foliage: Narrow, lance-shaped, mid-to-dark green leaves with a slightly aromatic scent when crushed.
  • Flowers: Large, brilliant red bottlebrush-shaped flowers, appearing mainly in spring and summer, with sporadic blooming throughout the year in warmer climates.
  • Growth Habit: Fast-growing, upright, and bushy shrub or small tree, reaching 3–5 meters (10–16 feet) in height and 2–4 meters (6–13 feet) in width.
  • Hardiness: Thrives in Australian temperate climates.
  • Soil: Prefers well-drained soil, tolerating sandy, loamy, or clay soils. It is highly adaptable and can withstand poor, dry soils.
  • Light: Grows best in full sun, though it can tolerate light shade.
  • Drought Tolerance: Highly drought-resistant once established, making it ideal for low-water gardens.
  • Salt Tolerance: Can withstand coastal conditions and salty winds.
  • Wildlife Attraction: Nectar-rich flowers attract birds, bees, and pollinators.

Care Tips

  • Pruning: Light pruning after flowering encourages denser growth and more blooms.
  • Watering: Drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional deep watering, especially in extreme dry conditions.
  • Pests/Diseases: Generally pest and disease-free but may occasionally be affected by scale insects or sooty mold.
  • Mulching: Applying a layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

Uses in Landscaping

  • Feature plant for gardens and parks.
  • Screening or hedging for privacy and wind protection.
  • Coastal gardens due to salt tolerance.
  • Pollinator-friendly gardens to attract birds and bees.
  • Street trees and urban plantings due to drought and pollution tolerance.
