I wondered how well it would grow outdoors. In just one year it has grown to
Recently I've been keeping an eye on it to see whether it would flower this year.
Yippee! Two branches are showing buds. Unusual in that the flowers are produced part way along new growth.
Why it is called a bottlebrush plant will, I hope, become evident when the flowers open.
Many years ago I had one flowering in my old conservatory but one hard Winter it disappeared.
How long the outdoor one lives could depend on how severe future Winters are.
Not someting I've ever done but it is interesting watching other peoples efforts.
ReplyDeleteI am sure it would really appreciate last Summer's weather. I too will be interested to see how it adapts to our climate.
