Re: update on garden/bottle brush

I love A. parviflora. What I can't understand is why our local nurseries do not carry it. I have to mail order "sticks with roots", and have been waiting 4+ years for decent development.

That's kind of a neat looking plant, too, Kitty. But nothing like the
Callistemon.

Bottle Brush is indeed Callistemon linearis. However, being a

myself, I'd never heard of it. To me a Bottlebrush is short form for a

I think we're talking about two different bottlebrushes. I think
Theresa is talking about Callistemon citrinus; Iowa's way too cold for
it, Ceres.

Theresa, I have always wanted one but feel my garden is not large
enough but
did plant one in a new landscaping we did a few yrs ago. They send
out
runners as I understand. Can you try taking runners for a new plant?
