Crimson Bottlebrush Tree

The Crimson Bottlebrush Tree is a vibrant, fast growing ornamental tree known for its brilliant red, Brush-like flower spikes that bloom from spring through fall. These showy blooms attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees, making it a top pick for pollinator gardens and tropical style landscapes. 

Its evergreen foliage, upright form, and tolerance to heat, drought, and poor soil make it  both beautiful and reliable. Use it as a specimen tree, or privacy screen to add year round texture and season long color.
