The older the plant gets the more cold hardy it becomes. We’ve heard that older plants have survived temperatures below zero.

The arching branches of Woodlanders Hardy Bottlebrush form mound 4 to 5 feet tall and equally as wide. Bright pinkish-red, fuzzy, bottlebrush-like flowers appear in late spring and then sporadically through the rest of the warm season on established plants. The long narrow leaves emerge a beautiful coppery color before maturing to dark blue-green and have have a fresh, lemony scent when bruised.
