A lovely, compact small shrub that flowers abundantly in spring, with bright red bottle brush flowers. Very low maintenance and hardy, good for low informal hedges and screens. The flowers are rich in nectar, attracting birds and insects. Tolerates wet and dry periods well, and adaptable to most soils. Likes full sun to part shade. Frost tolerant once established, and grows well in coastal gardens.
