The Lemon Bottlebrush is a shrub from south-eastern Australia, growing mainly near streams and in wet rocky places. It bears lots of cream to yellow bottlebrush flowers in late spring and summer. Popular in cultivation, with several named varieties, it contrasts well with the many red bottlebrushes. I had about a thousand of these shrubs on my property when I lived in Tasmania, but only rediscovered it in Victoria this spring. I collected some seed and hope soon to have a shrub to grow in my garden. Propagates well from seed and from cuttings.
