Callistemon grown outdoors
Hi all!
I'm just wondering if anyone has had any success growing Callistemon outdoors in the South/South East of the country?
The label says do not leave out below 5c which seems there or thereabouts what I'd expect given its native range. However, its also low enough for a horticultural nonconformist like myself to start thinking "what if....."
Its in a manageable pot for now but i expect in a couple of years it will be too large to move about so I need to think of something long term.
I'm wondering if I can chance it in a sunny / sheltered position. Perhaps propagate some cuttings prior as an insurance policy...
Any anecdotal feedback would be fab!
Cheers, all the best, Matt.
