Crimson Bottlebrush

The Crimson Bottlebrush (Callistemon citrinus), also known as Melaleuca citrina, common red bottlebrush, and lemon bottlebrush, is a plant native to Australia. It was one of the first Australian plants to be grown outside of Australia. This shrub can grow to be 3-10 feet tall. The spiky red flowers have a shape similar to a bottle brush cleaner. This plant is known to grow along creeks and rivers and is pollinated by bees and hummingbirds.
