Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This unique bottlebrush has very soft pink flowers and soft-textured leaves, unlike most bottlebrushes with their rigid form and loud colors. It is not rigidly upright nor extremely pendulous, but weeps just enough to show off the flowers. It is very cold hardy, to at least 10 °F.
