Weeping Bottlebrush
Scientific Name: Callistemon viminalis
Date Collected: April 20, 2011
Location: Botanical Gardens at LA Zoo
Habitat: Full sun and does well in dry or wet soil. The weeping bottlebrush is mostly a landscaping plant just because it does not need much attention.
Nativity: The weeping bottlebrush is native to Australia
Clade: Vascular, Dicot, has seeds
Special Notes: The bottlebrush flowers grow on knobs that form on the end of the branches, and as the flowering period is over, the bristles will fall off but the branches will continue growing with the knobs moving out farther as well.
