$4.00
A tall spreading shrub with grey-green foliage and attractive weeping branches. Red bottlebrush flowers with yellow anther tips appear almost year-round with prolific flushes in spring and autumn. Good informal hedge or screen. Adaptable to most soil types and tolerant of dry or poorly drained soils, and coastal conditions. Trim after flowering and prune to remove seed pods and encourage new growth.
