Callistemon 'Jeffers' (Purple Bottlebrush) - This variety bears reddish-purple flowers that fade to lavender. Its growth habit is smaller than the species, and is typically seen to about 6 feet tall by 4 feet wide. Older plants can get to around 10 feet and can be trained up into a small tree.
The foliage is also smaller and narrower. Long, fuchsia-pink, stiff stamens form a long flower cluster that resembles a bottlebrush and blooms year-round, but the bloom peak is in the early summer through fall. The flowers attracts bees and hummingbirds.
