About Callistemon salignus ‘Perth Pink’ – Perth Pink Bottlebrush
Callistemon salignus ‘Perth Pink’, commonly known as Perth Pink Bottlebrush, is an evergreen Australian native shrub or small tree valued for its soft pink bottlebrush flowers and graceful weeping foliage. The fine green leaves and elegant branching habit create a softer ornamental appearance than traditional red bottlebrush varieties, making this cultivar highly desirable for feature planting and screening applications.
It performs best in full sun and well-drained soils, adapting well to coastal exposure, clay soils, humidity, and periodic dry conditions once established. Suited to temperate, subtropical, Mediterranean, and coastal climates, this variety develops dependable drought tolerance and reliable low-maintenance performance. Its upright growth habit and extended flowering display provide strong seasonal interest while maintaining evergreen structure year-round.
They look excellent when used for screening, feature planting, avenue planting, and wildlife-friendly landscape schemes where softer flowering colour and evergreen structure are desired. This variety is commonly specified for residential gardens, streetscapes, and Australian native planting designs.
