Overview & Specifications
Callistemon viminalis 'Macarthur'™ (LC01)
A refined native specimen that delivers year-round structure and vivid seasonal colour without demanding attention. At 3–4 metres, 'Macarthur'™ brings the signature weeping form of the species under disciplined control, precise enough for considered landscape compositions, bold enough to hold its own as a feature.
Why Callistemon 'Macarthur'™
Vivid red flower spikes: Dense bottlebrush blooms deliver strong colour presence and reliable seasonal performance.
Controlled weeping habit: Soft, arching form adds movement and layering without encroaching on space.
Evergreen native structure: Maintains year-round foliage density and visual weight in the landscape.
Fauna value: Nectar-rich flowers attract honeyeaters and pollinators, supporting biodiversity on prestige properties.
Proven Australian performer: Hardy across a wide range of conditions with minimal intervention once established.
Ideal Applications
Specimen feature planting: Commands attention as a standalone focal point, particularly when in full flower.
Screening and privacy: Planted in rows, provides a colourful, living screen with year-round cover.
Poolside and courtyard settings: Compact scale and tidy habit suit contemporary outdoor environments.
Container installation: Performs well in large-format planters where drainage is managed correctly.
