"This nifty native shrub has the best fall color of any bottlebrush, which is really saying something for a plant that's already well known for being an autumn beauty.  In spring, honey-scented white flowers appear.  Bottlebrush is one of the most shade tolerant landscape shrubs and thrives even in hot climates.  It's a very nice choice for planting under trees."  - Spring Meadow Nursery [Fothergilla]
