Callistemon Better John

Callistemon viminalis “Better John”

Better John has been bred from popular small callistemon Little John, but with some changes. It is quicker to establish, easier to grow and its foliage colour is better. It has all this while still keeping Little John’s excellent small height.

Better John bears foliage that is blue-grey while new growth has silver tones due to its soft hairy texture. Its flowers bloom from mid to late Spring. Best placed in full sun or part shade position. Likes well drained soils.
