I am a delightful compact bottlebrush featuring soft baby pink flowers from the start of autumn well into spring.
I can flower at any time of year but am most prolific during spring.
Well suited to small gardens, low hedging, borders, rockeries, and as a small feature plant. I am also a good choice for planting in pots and containers.
My blooms are a magnet for nectar feeding birds.
I make a great feature or specimen plant either container planted or out in the garden.
I work well mass planted or as a screening hedge.
I am hardy in most soils including boggy ones and thrive in coastal conditions and exposed locations.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
My compact form is ideal for a pot or other container and I am just as happy planted out in the garden
My beautiful baby pink bottlebrush blooms start in early autumn and continue through winter well into spring
I attract honey eaters, spinebills and other small nectar feeding birds for which I provide food and habitat
