🍃 Callistemon viminalis (formerly Melaleuca viminalis), commonly known as Weeping Bottlebrush, is a shrub or small tree in the family Myrtaceae. Native to New South Wales and Queensland in Australia, it is often found along watercourses, riverbanks, and moist woodland areas. The species prefers well-draining soils but tolerates occasional flooding and grows best in full sun with moderate water.
Weeping Bottlebrush can reach heights of up to 8 metres (26 ft) and is notable for its elegant, pendulous branches that give it a distinctive weeping appearance. Its narrow, lance-shaped leaves are 3–7 cm long and 3–7 mm wide, glossy green above and paler underneath, contributing to its ornamental appeal.
🌿 Botanical Characteristics:
Growth: Shrub or small tree, 4–8 m tall
Leaves: Narrow, lance-shaped, 3–7 cm long, 3–7 mm wide, evergreen
Flowers: Bright red spikes, 4–10 cm long and 3–6 cm diameter, appearing from spring to summer
Fruit: Woody capsules containing small seeds, released gradually over time
Branches: Pendulous, providing a graceful, weeping habit
Climate: Subtropical to tropical, frost sensitive
🌱 Cultivation & Uses:
Ornamental: Popular in gardens for its striking red flowers, especially for attracting hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies. Excellent as a specimen tree, in containers, or for landscaping along water features.
Soil: Prefers well-drained loamy or sandy soils; slightly acidic conditions improve growth.
Watering: Moderate, though established plants tolerate short dry periods. Avoid waterlogging for prolonged periods.
Propagation: Seeds should be sown fresh. Pre-treatment with hot water or scarification may improve germination rates. Germination typically occurs within 2–4 weeks under warm, moist conditions.
Care: Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage denser growth. Protect young seedlings from frost.
🌟 Notes & Precautions:
In some regions, including Florida, Weeping Bottlebrush is listed as a Category II invasive exotic by the Exotic Pest Plant Council (EPPC). Ensure responsible planting to prevent unintended spread outside cultivated areas.
