Callistemon Viminalis ‘CV01’ Slim™ (Slim Bottlebrush) is a narrow-growing Australian native shrub specially selected for tight planting spaces, making it an excellent choice for hedging, screening, fence lines, driveways, and narrow garden beds. Its naturally upright, slim form provides structure without taking up too much width, while its classic red bottlebrush flowers add bright seasonal colour and attract nectar-feeding birds, bees, and other beneficial pollinators.
With dense evergreen foliage that can grow close to the ground, Callistemon Viminalis ‘CV01’ Slim™ (Slim Bottlebrush) is ideal for creating a tidy privacy screen, compact hedge, or low-maintenance landscape feature. Hardy, adaptable, and easy to maintain once established, this bottlebrush is a smart choice for customers wanting a space-saving screening plant with native appeal, reliable colour, and strong garden performance.
