Callistemon sieberi

Callistemon sieberi, or River Bottlebrush, is a hardy, medium-sized shrub native to Australia, typically found along rivers, creeks, and floodplains. Growing up to 4 meters tall, this plant features slender, arching branches with narrow, light-green leaves and soft, creamy-yellow bottlebrush flowers that bloom in spring and summer, attracting pollinators such as birds, bees, and butterflies.

Adapted to wet environments, River Bottlebrush thrives in waterlogged soils and can tolerate periodic flooding, making it ideal for riparian restoration and waterway stabilization. It also grows well in a variety of garden settings, including full sun to partial shade, and is moderately drought-tolerant once established.

With its understated beauty, resilience, and ecological value, Callistemon sieberi is a versatile choice for naturalistic landscapes, native gardens, and habitat restoration projects, enhancing biodiversity while providing soil stability and aesthetic appeal
