As we cannot access the previous photos of Callistemon plants, I’m starting a thread about them.
Previously mine was not in flower it is beginning to flower now.
I’m especially excited as it was bought from the dead plant section in winter 2024. I’ve nurtured it, fed it and covered it in fleece during the winter!
Anyone going to post their photos of beautiful Callistemon or just your rescued triumphs.

This was mine on the 7th June so it’s not in its full glory.

Can’t post them yet, but we are planting some in a big trough at the front of the house. I’m not good with plants, so I’m hoping these will last. Thanks for the hint about winter care J52.

That looks great already, I hope mine reaches such beauty, given time.

Such a lovely plant. Now that we’ve moved to a flat we no longer have Callistemon. I do miss my garden, especially those lovely vibrant plants that gave me so much pleasure.

Mine died when my neighbour dug it up and planted it in his garden.

Oh how shocking and what a waste. Unless you gave it to him?

It’s beautiful Kitty. Mine has a few more buds to open yet.

Obviously there’s a back story. All amicable I’ll add 😀
