Callistemon viminalis Dawsons River Weeper is a rounded shrub or small tree that will grow to about 5m.
It has an increased weeping habit, its long and pendulous branches and soft grey/green slender leaves that are covered in long silky hairs make a very pretty statement in larger gardens.
In springtime it produces masses of the brightest scarlet bottle brush flowers up to 90mm long. It will also flower at other times in year, less flowers in autumn and spot flowering at other times.
Like other cultivars of Callistemon viminalis it will tolerate 2nd line salt, mild frosts, wet to acid an/or saline soils
This is a vigorous grower and makes a great feature specimen, especially around ponds or other water features but can also make an excellent screen/hedge.
Like most Callistemon the nectar laden flowers attract birds to your garden, particularly the scarlet honeyeater,
It doesn't like extended drought periods and will be at its best with regular weekly waterings.
