The Little John Bottlebrush is a dwarf evergreen shrub known for its vibrant red, brush-like flowers that bloom throughout the year, attracting hummingbirds and pollinators. Its compact size makes it ideal for borders, foundation plantings, container gardens, or as a low hedge. The silvery-blue foliage adds texture and contrast to any landscape. This slow-growing shrub reaches about 3-5 feet tall and wide, thriving in full sun for the best blooms. It is drought-tolerant once established and prefers well-drained soil. In southern Louisiana, it can withstand mild frosts but may need protection in extreme cold. Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between watering. |
