Other Comments:
I bought this Callistemon called Bronwen and have not seen another. I would like to get another, but cannot find a supplier. The plant is going fine. Appreciate your help Don.

Answer:
Hi Bronwen, Garden express do sell this plant, but they are currently out of stock. The best idea would be to place a back order with them. Don
