Notes
'CV01' weeping bottlebrush (Melaleuca viminalis 'CV01') is a shrub for pollinator gardens, specimen planting, and winter interest. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows fast into a rounded evergreen with gray and green foliage. Yellow and red blooms appear in spring and summer and attract butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds.
Pairs well with Tuscan Blue rosemary, Jerusalem sage, and Strawflower.
