Description: Callistemon violaceus Seeds This wonderful selection of Bottle Brush offers rosy-purple flowers from early winter through spring, and in mild climates may bloom year around. This Australian native grows to become a medium to large, multi-trunked, evergreen shrub or small tree, to 10', that is tough and adaptable. Requires full to half sun in well-drained soils, but will also accept clay soil, as long as the shrubs aren't allowed to stand in water. Once established, the shrubs will tolerate infrequent watering. The nectar-laden flowers attract hummingbirds and beneficial insects. One of the prettiest among Bottle Brushes! One packet contains 50 freshly harvested seeds. Detailed sowing instructions are included. Please note that the seeds of this variety are very fine and almost dust-like. Please note: The seeds of this variety are tiny, and are fresh and viable - success in their germination is up to you, and will be achieved by carefully following the instructions included with your seeds. Sowing seeds requires cleanliness, practice and patience, and frequently have specific requirements and pretreatments. There is a learning curve. I say this because people generally blame the seeds or the seller for a failure in germination, when, in actuality, it is generally because of the one doing the sowing... With that said, I wish you the best of luck with the seeds, and if you have any questions with getting them started, please feel free to contact me. I've been growing and collecting rare and exotic plants for over 45 years and sowing seeds has been a specialty. Most of the trees and shrubs that are growing in my garden have been started from seeds; there is something very satisfying about that. All photos are of plants in my own collection - unless stated otherwise. NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING - SORRY - I ONLY SHIP TO THE US. I do combine shipping for multiple items - please request a new shipping total before checking out. Thank you! Upon arrival of the seeds/cutting/plant, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. I want you to be happy with your purchase and to have the greatest success in its cultivation! Thank you for checking out my ebay offerings. Robert
