Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

  • 100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
  • 140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
  • 5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Description

"Perth Pink", a cultivar of the Bottlebrush and a hybrid of Melaleuca saligna (Syn. Callistemon), proudly showcases bright pink blossoms that take centre stage during Djilba (spring). Native to Australia, this large shrub is renowned for its prolific flowering, making it an utterly unique and standout addition to any garden. Its commanding size combined with its vibrant colouration makes it perfect for creating striking garden backdrops, natural screens, or even as a centrepiece.

When placing "Perth Pink" in the ground, a sunny position and well-draining soil are key; for those working with sandy soils, adding a high-quality soil conditioner can work wonders. While being a hardy plant that demands minimal additional water, during the peak temperatures of Bunuru (summer), a little extra hydration might be appreciated. To ensure continued vigour and radiant blooms, feed it with a native plant fertiliser during Makuru (winter) and consider a light prune post its flowering season to maintain its shape and health.
