- My prolific and stunning blooms are the redest of reds appearing in spring, summer and autumn
- I am a magnet for nectar feeding birds and other native wildlife
- My dense form and quick growth habit makes me ideal for screening hedges
- Suitable for coastal planting, I grow in most soils including those that are occasionaly water logged
- I thrive in full sun to part shade
I am one of the best bottlebrushes ever!
I am a prolific flowering bottlebrush with very bright red flower heads that attract nectar loving birds.
I develop attractive furrowed bark as I mature.
I am very hardy in a range of soil types and positions.
Fast growing I am a great feature or screen plant and make a great street tree.
I can be pruned to shape or allowed to grow naturally into a large shrub/ small tree.
If needed, I can be cut back very hard and will generally reshoot form the numerous dormant buds in the trunk.
Hardy and adaptable I happily tolerate light frost and dry conditions while still being a good choice for heavy soils that are occasionally waterlogged.
