Southern Living Light Show Bottlebrush Live Shrub in 2-Gallon Grower Pot

Coastal gardeners are going to love this one, the Light Show Bottlebrush is brand new from the Southern Living Plant Collection! This beauty produces clusters of brilliant red bottlebrush flower clusters with a rounded and 'fiber-optic' sort of appearance. These flowers begin appearing in early Summer and last into Fall. The foliage is evergreen and plentiful, emerging in bright green spear clusters. Unlike other Bottlebrush varieties that can get huge, this one reaches only 2-3 feet high and 2-3 feet wide! Therefore, it's perfect for foundation plantings, mixed garden beds, borders, low hedges, and mass plantings. It's also salt, heat, and drought-tolerant, so it's perfect for the coastal U.S. The Light Show is hardy from USDA Zones 8-10 and grows best in Full Sun. It tolerates a wide range of soil types and qualities. Water your new planting 2-3 times per week for the first growing season. These Bottlebrushes are well-established in 2-gallon pots and will tend to be 10-16 inches tall when shipped. They are not guaranteed to be in bloom on arrival.
