Callistemon? Clianthus? Need a photograph, sorry.

What's the one called 'Lobster Claw' Bamboo? Is that a possibility?

Thanks.Have looked up both sugestions but it is niether.Sorry no photo as past flowering.Also as i said leaves are very long and very thin.It is now about three foot high and growing fast.Am worried as to what to do with it as when in flower it is a much talking piont as nobody has ever seen one before and i dont want to lose it.Asked garden center where i bought it and they cant remember what it was as they only had three so not much help.

Thank heavens for good old internet.Have found it! Thank you.Its a Grevillea 'Long John'.Typed in Australian Pine and there it was.Next question though is how to i keep in winter.Do i fleece it or leave it alone

It'll only survive temperatures of -5 degrees, and we in the 'mild' SW of the UK had -10 last year. I think you will certainly need to devise some protection, including a heavy mulch over its rootball. Maybe several layers of fleece might help.

Given the forecast for this winter, I'd be inclined to dig it up, place in a pot which is large enough to accommodate its rootball, and move to a frost free spot, if you have one. Or at least against a wall, in a sheltered place out of wind, preferably south facing.
