£10.00
Callistemon 'Inferno' is a cultivar of the bottlebrush plant, prized for its vibrant red flowers and multi-season interest. While its name contains viminalis, some sources refer to it primarily as Callistemon 'Inferno' ('Yanferno'). A distinctive feature of this plant is the change in its foliage colour throughout the year.

- Foliage: The evergreen, narrow, and stiff leaves are aromatic and release a lemon scent when crushed.
- Autumn colour: The foliage transforms into glowing orange in the autumn, providing further seasonal interest.
- Size and habit: It is a compact, bushy shrub that can reach an ultimate height of around 1.2–1.5 metres (4–5 feet) and a spread of 75–80 cm (2.5 feet). It can be grown as a specimen shrub or trained against a wall or trellis.
