Genoa Glory™

Callistemon Genoa Glory™

A compact shrub (1.5 - 2.5m x 1.2 - 2m), single or multi-stemmed, with light papery bark.

Dense grey-green foliage, and numerous glossy purple-maroon brushes bloom in spring and autumn. Honeyeaters, butterflies and other nectar-seeking fauna find these flowers irresistible.

It loves full sun or light shade, and is hardy in moist to wet clay loams or sandy soils, neutral to acid pH, in climates ranging from cool temperate to sub tropical, and semi arid with additional moisture. Suitable for coastal gardens and is very frost hardy.

Uses: plant as a showy specimen or in groups, around pools or for screening; in streetscapes and open parkland. Wherever it is planted, it is a crowd stopper.

Maintenance: remove spent flowers regularly, prune foliage to shape after flowering. Feed with controlled release low phosphorus fertilizer in early spring or late summer.

Here’s the lovely Genoa Glory displaying its vibrant brushes for all the honeyeaters in the district.
