Narrow pointed grey-green foliage forms a dense rounded shrub. New shoots are silky. Masses of bright carmine pink bottlebrush flowers ageing to a softer but still intense pink emerge in autumn and spring. Will grow in poor to average, free draining soils in sull sun or part shade. Tolerates dry and wet soils and coastal sites with some protection. Drought and frost tolerant once established.
