Striking Red Blooms on a Soft, Cascading Tree
The Hannah Ray Bottlebrush is a standout tree that brings movement and vibrance to your landscape. With pendulous, weeping branches and fine, gray-green foliage, it adds a soft, elegant texture, and then surprises you with bold crimson bottlebrush-shaped blooms from late spring through summer.
This large-growing variety reaches 10–15 feet tall and wide at maturity, making it a fantastic option for a flowering screen, specimen planting, or informal hedge. Train it early into a tree form to showcase its cascading branches and maximize visibility of its blooms. Whether left bushy or pruned upright, Hannah Ray is sure to draw attention.
Hannah Ray thrives in heat and tolerates drought once established. It grows in a wide range of soils, though it performs best in fertile, well-draining ground. Hummingbirds and butterflies love its vibrant red blooms, and gardeners will love its resistance to deer and its low-maintenance nature.
With long-lasting color and graceful form, the Hannah Ray Bottlebrush is ideal for adding structure and seasonal interest to landscapes in warm regions. Grow this crimson beauty in your garden today!
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Select a spot in full sun with well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and slightly shallower than its depth. Plant at soil level, backfill, and water deeply to settle.
2. Watering: Water regularly to establish. Once established, water only during extended dry periods. This variety is drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional deep watering in extreme heat.
3. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring.
4. Pruning: Lightly prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage branching. If training to tree form, remove lower branches while young to encourage a central trunk and upright structure.
