I am Bottlebrush Slim™. My family originated from NSW and Queensland
| My naturally tall and very narrow habit provides landscape professionals and homeowners with the perfect bottlebrush solution for tight planting areas.
A large number of flower buds develop in spring and will open to classic bright red bottlebrush blooms throughout spring, summer and later again in autumn. I make a reliably narrow screening hedge without maintenance. My flowers attract nectar feeding birds and beneficial insects. |
