Callistemon spp. (‘Hot Pink’, ‘Inferno’)

Melaleuca — ‘Hot Pink’ / ‘Inferno’: characteristics and care

The Melaleuca ‘Hot Pink’ / ‘Inferno’—popularly known as the bottlebrush—comprises various ornamental *Callistemon* varieties selected for their particularly striking blooms in shades of intense pink and fiery red, which stand out against their narrow, evergreen foliage.

Their compact and branched shape, along with their prolonged flowering, make them a very decorative option both for flowerbeds and for isolated specimens in Mediterranean gardens.

They tolerate drought well once established and adapt to poor soils, provided they have good drainage.

At Ornacom we cultivate each specimen directly, guaranteeing a balanced size and vigorous development from the first years of planting.
