Australia has provided us with so many beautiful plants, but few as small, compact and useful as this little 'Juan'.....get it? Little One = Little Juan?....Anyways, Little Juanito is a dwarf version of the usually shrubby Bottlebrush, but don't think small size is the only difference! The leaves are a beautiful gray-blue green and look great from far or up close. The flowers, which show up strong in Summer and Fall, are a lush deep red, attract hummingbirds like crazy and are known to appear lightly almost all year! VERY drought tolerant, use it in your hottest spot, like full sun in Agoura Hills, on the grill at your favorite restaurant or even the surface of the sun (we haven't tested one of those). Amazing as a medium hedge along with Winnifred Gilman Sage, and one of the BEST plants we carry for a medium sized pot. Reaches 2-3 ft. high and wide, and tolerates DRY clay or rocky soils beautifully.
