While most Callistemon varieties are cold hardy only in USDA Zones 9 and 10 of southern Florida and Texas, Woodlanders Cold Hardy Bottlebrush is hardy to USDA Zone 7b, where it has withstood temperatures of 5 degrees F. The older the plant gets the more cold hardy it becomes. We’ve heard that older plants have survived temperatures below zero.

The arching branches of Woodlanders Hardy Bottlebrush form mound 4 to 5 feet tall and equally as wide. Bright pinkish-red, fuzzy, bottlebrush-like flowers appear in late spring and then sporadically through the rest of the warm season on established plants. The long narrow leaves emerge a beautiful coppery color before maturing to dark blue-green and have have a fresh, lemony scent when bruised.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 4 to 5 feet tall and equally as wide, Woodlanders Cold Hardy Bottlebrush is ideal for use has multiple use as a specimen, in groupings, or as a natural hedge. Excellent spilling out from behind other shorter plants or over a wall. A fine addition to tropical gardens, red theme gardens, butterfly gardens, and the Xeriscape (low water needs). In the warmer USDA Hardiness Zones 8b-10b Woodlanders Cold Hardy Bottlebrush is excellent for use in containers that can be left outside during winter.

Suggested Spacing: 3 to 4 feet apart for solid hedges; 8 feet or more apart for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Bottlebrush is not winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

For those of you in USDA Zones 7a or 7b we advise providing young plants with a little extra protection during the first winter or two if and when the temperature drops below 20 degrees. Add mulch around the base or cover the entire plant with a tarp or blanket for insulation. Planting close to the home on the east or south side will offer some protection from winters cold northern winds.
