Flowering Shrubs

Crimson Bottlebrush

Callistemon citrinus

كاليستيمون أحمر

The shrubby bottlebrush, denser and more compact than the weeping tree form, covered in vivid red brushes in spring and again intermittently through summer. Bees work it constantly.

Blooming season: Spring to summer
Flower colour: Red
How to care: Full sun in free-draining soil, tolerating poor ground, heat, drought, and coastal salt. Water while establishing, then sparingly. Prune immediately after flowering, cutting just behind the spent brushes, to keep it dense and to set up the next flush. It tolerates hard renovation pruning if it becomes leggy. Avoid rich feeding, which produces soft growth and fewer flowers.

Enormous silk-textured flowers in reds, pinks, oranges, and yellows, each lasting only a day and replaced continuously from spring to autumn. The signature flowering shrub of warm coastal gardens.

Paperflower

Bougainvillea glabra

The bougainvillea that covers walls and rooftops across the region, its colour coming not from flowers but from papery bracts that hold for months. Ruthlessly drought tolerant and genuinely spectacular at scale.

Gardenia

Gardenia jasminoides

Grown entirely for the scent. Waxy white flowers against glossy dark evergreen leaves, strongest in the evening, which makes it the plant to put beside a door, a seating area, or an open window rather than at the back of a bed. Also sold as Cape Jasmine.
