The Weeping Bottlebrush is a large shrub or small tree with spreading branches that grows to 25' x 15'. It produces narrow clusters of dark red flowers, and performs best with average to occasional summer watering. Gives a nice verticle accent in the landscape. Accepts full sun to partial shade. Native to Australia.
