An exotic shrub with evergreen arching branches and yellow bottlebrush blooms, loved by pollinators and looking a treat in your favourite patio pot.
This Callistemon stretches upwards with poker-like flowers in a bright yellow shade, to really draw the eye across a long period, from early spring to summer.
Flowers standout remarkably from narrow foliage that not only remains full of colour through the year, but also releases an intoxicating aroma - try crushing a leaf by hand to enjoy a scent very similar to a freshly squeezed lemon.
Versatile, with dramatic foliage and blooms whether ‘Honeypot’ is used as an abstract addition to mixed shrub borders, gravel gardens, or even big containers for the patio – as it remains more compact than many other Callistemon.
What’s more, the long, elegant branches can either be left alone to form a bushy shrub or can be trained up a trellis to introduce height to the garden – particularly useful for covering unsightly walls with a splash of nature.
This attractive garden feature draws the attention of bees, butterflies, and many other beneficial insects. During cold winter conditions, be sure to cover this Callistemon with a fleece, or move those grown in pots to indoor shelter, such as a shed, porch, garage, or conservatory.
Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready for planting.

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.
Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.
We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.
Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.
Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
