{"product_id":"callistemon-little-john-bottlebrush","title":"Callistemon 'Little John' (Bottlebrush)","description":"\u003cp\u003e'Little John' is a compact dwarf bottlebrush bred for smaller gardens and container growing, where the typical species would quickly outgrow its space. It forms a dense, rounded mound of narrow blue-green leaves that remains attractive year-round, with the main flower display typically arriving in late winter to spring. The flowers are the classic bottlebrush form: cylindrical spikes of deep crimson-red stamens that hummingbirds find irresistible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the Pacific Northwest, bottlebrush benefits from a warm, sheltered position, ideally against a south- or west-facing wall that captures heat and provides some protection from hard frost. 'Little John' is considered one of the more cold-tolerant Callistemon selections, though a prolonged freeze below about 20 degrees F can cause tip damage. In most Oregon coast winters, it performs without issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in well-drained soil and full sun. 'Little John' is drought-tolerant once established and requires minimal pruning beyond removing any frost-damaged tips in spring. The compact size, roughly two to three feet in height and spread, makes it a practical choice for a spot near a path or doorway where the winter flowers can be appreciated up close and the hummingbird activity observed easily.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Langlois","offers":[{"title":"1gal","offer_id":44051607748696,"sku":"16204001","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5-gallon","offer_id":44051607814232,"sku":"104041002","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5gal","offer_id":44051607847000,"sku":"162041002","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/dragonflyfarmlanglois.com\/products\/callistemon-little-john-bottlebrush","provider":"Dragonfly Farm \u0026 Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
