Generally considered one of the best bottlebrushes, Callistemon 'Hannah Ray' is widely grown for its magnificent display of bright scarlet spring flowers and masses of weeping, pink tipped foliage growth.
The bright red flowers are very pendulous and large and attract birds including honey-eaters which are attracted to the sweet nectar that drips from the flowers.
It prefers full sun but will tolerate part sun but may produce less flowers.
It is one of the small Callistemon cultivars and is suitable as shade or feature tree in sheltered coastal and native gardens. It is often seen as a street tree and looks quite splendid in spring.
