Description
One look at the flowers and you’ll know where this shrug got its name. Twice a year, in spring and then again in summer, the Red Cluster Bottlebrush produces an abundant display of cylindrical, vibrant red flowers shaped just like a bottlebrush that nearly cover the foliage. At 12 to 15 feet tall and 8 to 10 feet wide, you can grow Red Cluster as a large shrub or lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive small tree. A very easy-to-grow and low-maintenance plant that is sure to draw attention from passersby and the hummingbirds and butterflies, who will appreciate you for planting it!
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 12 to 15 feet tall and 8 to 10 feet wide, the Red Cluster Bottlebrush can be grown as a large shrub or lower branches can be removed to form an attractive small tree. It is ideal for use as a focal point specimen, in groupings, or as formal or informal hedge or privacy screen. A fine addition to tropical gardens, butterfly and hummingbird gardens, red theme gardens and the Xeriscape (low water needs).
Suggested Spacing: 7 feet apart for solid hedges; 14 feet or more apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Red Cluster Bottlebrush is exceptionally easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil. Prefers full sun but will tolerate some shade. Plants will require a moist but well-drained soil when young but established plants are very drought tolerant. Bottlebrush have very few if any insect or disease problems, and deer won’t touch them! Tolerates lots of heat and salt air.
