Hi,

I found a website that carries bottle brush seeds. I've never ordered from them, so I can't say anything about their business. To find the bottle brush seeds they carry, search their database for Keyword: bottle brush. The site was called Chiltern Seeds. Their based in the United Kingdom, I think.

Here's the site:

Good luck, Michelle

Do you mean Callistemon? If so, and if it's not too late, I have some seed.

Hi, well I think I'd wait til you can plant them outdoors this spring (after the last frost has passed), and grow them in the ground where they'll do the most the fastest. You didn't say if you were e.g. in the Hebrides vs. Cornwall (where it's a lot warmer!). If you are in the south, maybe a grower there could tell you how hardy the plants are in your area, whether they can live outdoors all year or not, or how much protection they need over the winter - they're not really meant to grow indoors and they do get awfully large. Otherwise, it is best to grow them out individually for as long (couple of yrs?) as it takes for you to be happy with the trunk growth, etc.

oleander - nerium: Surface sow or barely cover, some light may be beneficial to germination. Keep moist, 70-75F, germination in approx 30-90 days. Bottlebrush - callistemon: Surface sow 55-65F for germination in 14-60 days. (Druse, Making More Plants)

Does a rooted 'weeping bottle brush' weep?
Q

Callistemon viminalis can be grown from seed. It is not a hybrid nor a cultivar of an upright bottlebrush which would necessitate asexual propagation. However! If you see an individual C. verminalis that you really admire, it's best to take cuttings and make clones rather than rely on the genetic blueprint in each seed. Of course, it can be rewarding to experiment.

What do you feed the bottle brush? I purchased three and put them in the ground and they are already starting to grow the blooms. I am not sure what type they are. Got them at Houston Garden Center. Also do you need to cut them back or just let them growing? Are the seeds present after the bloom has finished? How do you get the seeds?

The best way to harvest is to cut off the stem with the seed capsules attached. To get the capsules to open and release the seeds, put them in a paper bag in the oven on low heat - 150-200Â°. (In their native Australia, fires cause them to open up.)

I have several red-flowered Callistemons I'd be happy to trade/share. I've been growing them here in the piedmont region of North Carolina for six or seven years now.
