About this plant
Bottle Brush suits outdoor spots with full sun. Listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to cats, dogs and horses.
Needs full sun, and carries bristly red, pink or orange flower spikes on weeping branches.
Bottle Brush (Callistemon viminalis), also called weeping bottlebrush, is native to eastern Australia. It has slender, arching branches with narrow leaves, and produces cylindrical flower spikes made of hundreds of bristly stamens that look like a bottle brush. We offer red, pink and orange flowering forms.
It grows well in Dubai. It thrives in full sun and heat, tolerates wind and moderate salinity, and handles dry spells once established, although regular watering gives more flowers. Main flowering is from spring into summer, with occasional flushes at other times. A light trim after flowering keeps it compact and encourages new spikes.
It works well as a flowering screen, along boundaries, as a feature shrub in villa gardens and in large planters. We offer it at 1 to 1.5 m, in a nursery or plastic pot, in red, pink or orange.

Care guide for Dubai homes
How to keep Bottle Brush healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Full sun. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 2 to 3 days in the first summer; every 4 to 5 days once established. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: free-draining sandy loam; tolerates poor soils. Feeding: low-phosphorus slow-release feed in spring. Common mistake: planting in shade, which gives few flowers and sparse growth. Where it works: flowering screens, boundaries, feature shrubs and large planters.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
