Evergreen shrub with arching to pendulous branches. Leaves are dark green lance like along stems. Flowers terminal, pink "bottlebrushes". This relatively cold, hardy bottlebrush is unusual in that it has pink flowers freely in mid-summer. Native to Australia, where this species is described as having yellow flowers. 

This plant may be a hybrid with one of the red-flowered species. We got it from Joe Levert in Augusta, GA who got it from Tom McClendon who probably got it from Yucca-do Nursery in Texas who got it as seed from University of California Santa Cruz. A long trail for a fine plant for the sunny garden.
