Callistemon ‘Snow Burst’ (CNU07 PBR) is a compact, evergreen Australian native shrub renowned for its profusion of striking white bottlebrush flowers that contrast beautifully against its fine, dark green foliage. This low-maintenance variety is ideal for hedging, mass planting, feature specimens, or container gardening, providing year-round interest and attracting birds and pollinators to the garden.
Flowers:
Abundant pure white bottlebrush flowers bloom in spring, emerging from shell pink buds and tipped with a dusting of lemon yellow. The nectar-rich blooms are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and nectar-feeding birds.
