Say G'day to the one-sided bottlebrush: a laid-back Australian shrub with soft, pine-needle-like leaves and brilliant red flowers that erupt along one side of its stems (explaining that unique name!). Flowering from late winter into summer and reaching about 5–7 feet tall, this hardy plant handles sunshine, dry spells, and coastal gardens with ease—all while its nectar-rich blooms bring visiting hummers by the droves.
