Growing to a height of 1.75m with a spread of 1.5m, C. 'Great Balls of Fire' was bred for its particularly dense compact habit and the intense red hues of its new emerging growth.
Callistemon viminalis 'Prolific'
A small tree to 6m high by 4m across with pendulous branch
tips. The leaves are narrowly elliptical to 50mm long by 7mm wide. The
bright red flowers are borne in spikes clustered near the branch ends. Each
spike is about 80mm long by 40mm across. They are seen in late spring and
summer and again in autumn in the eastern states and from June to October
in Western Australia.
Diagnosis:
The only significant differences between this and other forms of
C. viminalis are its prolific flowering habit and the flowering spikes
borne in clusters at the branch ends. The branch ends are not as pendulous
as some forms. It is not readily identifiable.
Callistemon 'Woolomin Sparkler'
A medium-sized shrub to 3m high by 2m across with compact
habit and dense foliage. The leaves are narrowly oblanceolate to 80mm long
by 7mm wide tapering towards the base. The apex is pointed. The red flowers
are borne in spikes clustered near the branch ends. The anthers are yellow.
Each spike is about 80mm long by 60mm across from specimen, although spikes
to 120mm long are claimed by the originator. Flowers over a long period
starting September, peak October and again March and April.

Differs from C. 'Harkness' in having:
* Shorter flower spikes
* Shorter leaves
* More upright habit

* Lighter green leaves
* Flower spikes in clusters
* Extended flowering period
