| Botanical Name | Callistemon viminalis 'Little John' |
| Description | A popular dwarf variety that is perfect for smaller Houston landscapes. Known for its dense, blue-green foliage and deep red "brushes," it is highly attractive to hummingbirds and bees. It is exceptionally heat-tolerant but is sensitive to "wet feet." In the Houston metro area, ensure it is planted in well-drained soil or a raised bed to prevent root rot during rainy seasons. |
| Exposure | Full sun (Essential for bloom production). |
| Height x Width | 3 ft. Tall x 3 ft. Wide |
| Water | Low to moderate; drought-tolerant once established. Avoid overwatering in heavy clay soils. |
| Zones | 8 - 11 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring. |
| Pruning | Minimal pruning needed due to its dwarf habit. Lightly tip-prune after flowering to maintain density and encourage more blooms. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
