Callistemon Laevis (Bottlebrush) – Shrub

Product Description
Genus comprising numerous species of evergreen shrubs and trees native to Australia which have an extraordinary elective affinity with our species of the Myrtaceae family. They have become popular in Europe because of the spectacular flowers in axillary spikes, which look like bottle brushes. In colder areas they can be grown in pots, kept under cover in winter, giving plenty of water during the flowering period, little in winter. Requires moist, well-drained soil, not calcareous. Withstands pruning and drought. Callistemon Laevis is a tall perennial shrub or small Bottlebrush tree with an evergreen crown of fine green lanceolate leaves. The abundant intense red bottlebrush flowers it produces in mid to late summer look absolutely stunning with their bright colour. The bark of Callistemon laevis is brown with a rough texture.

Product Description
The Pomegranate (Punica Granatum) is a small deciduous tree cultivated as a fruit crop in warmer climates, especially the Mediterranean, but in the UK is grown as ornamental shrubs or Specimen Trees in parks and gardens. Mature specimens of pomegranate tree can develop distinctive overall shape which is almost sculptural in form with twisted trunk, irregularly ridged and furrowed bark and thin, stiff, greyish brown twigs which often have a thorny tip.Punica granatum has glossy, leathery leaves that are narrow and lance shaped, 37 cm long and 2 cm broad.

In most places they are deciduous, but in the warmer climates may be evergreen.The pomegranate tree is worth growing for the flowers alone as it produces attractive bright red tube shaped flowers over 1″ long and about 3cm in diameter with four to five petals (or more in some cultivars). The flowers are self-pollinating, though cross pollination increases fertility. The edible pomegranate fruit is a rounded hexagonal berry 2.5-5″ wide covered by a thick red, yellow or orange rind. Each fruit contains from 200 to 1400 seeds varying in colour from white to deep red or purple and sectioned off by a white astringent pulp. Each seed is enclosed in a juice filled sack.

This plant needs plenty of natural sunlight although it has a slightly medium hardiness rating of H3, making it essential to only grow your plants during the summer time and to cover them up by winter. Stick to the guidelines of pruning group 1 and 13. Try to give this plant a once year trim and follow the guidelines of pruning group 1 for further ideas. The plant is generally pest and disease free. The plant can growth to a final width between 40 cm – 1.5 m (1.3 ft – 4.9 ft) and a final height of 80 cm – 1 m (2.6 ft – 3.3 ft)

Bougainvillea prefers siliceous soil but will grow in almost any kind of garden soil as long as it is free from stagnation. Its position must be in full sun or half-shade. It can withstand a maritime climate and will tolerate hard pruning. Make sure to follow the guidelines of pruning group 12 for details. It is prone to potential pests so keep an eye out for this.

Gilt Edge Silverthorn also produces tiny cream-coloured flowers, which produce a wonderful sweet aroma towards the end of the day.

All of our Hedging Plants allow you to style your garden in a range of different ways, not just because of their varied colours, but also because of the way you choose to trim and maintain them. Prune them regularly to achieve a neat, clean form, or let them bush-out a little to create a more natural appearance. Whether you’re using a hedge to give your garden some privacy, or as protection from the weather, road and noise pollution, you’ll want to choose a plant that complements the rest of your garden’s visual appearance. All of our Hedging Plants have evergreen foliage – giving you some pleasant greenery to look at all-year-round.
