Callistemon viminalis ‘LJ1’ Better John™ (Dwarf Bottlebrush) is an improved compact selection of the popular ‘Little John’ Bottlebrush, valued for its denser growth, enhanced vigour, and striking blue-green foliage. Its soft silver new growth adds contrast and texture, while masses of fuzzy deep red flowers create a vibrant display from spring through summer

Highly drought tolerant and easy to grow, this long-lived Australian native is perfect for borders, low hedging, native gardens, and containers. In frost-free climates, flowering may continue for most of the year, attracting birds and pollinators while providing year-round colour and structure
