Fast-growing evergreen shrub to 8-10′ tall and 6-8′ wide. This unique, pink-blooming variety features all the durability and splendor of its full-sized cousins, but in a more compact-growing, easier-to-manage size. Lance-shaped, grayish-green foliage is accented with abundant, bottlebrush-like, neon-pink flowers that appear throughout the warmer months of the year, or nearly year-round in mild climates. A favorite for bees and butterflies, and makes a good cut flower. Floriferous and heat-loving, this attractive variety takes well to pruning and is well-suited as an accent, border or hedge, as well as making a good container specimen. Prefers a well-drained soil, requires little water once fully established, and thrives in a full sun exposure.
