Fl. Summer
The origin of this cultivar is obscure as some sources claim it originated at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, London and others claim it was first raised in New Zealand. It is a form of Callistemon citrinus. The cultivar was given the name Callistemon 'Endeavour' by Australian Nurserymen in 1970 and promoted as part of the bicentennial celebrations of Captain James Cook's landing in Australia. It has been in cultivation for over 30 years.
Highly attractive bottlebrush with mid green hard pointed leaves and very large bright red brushes which stand out from the foliage. Frost and drought hardy and adaptable to most soils. Best grown in full sun as a specimen plant or in an informal hedge. Attracts birds. Prune lightly after flowering.
