Hannah Ray Bottlebrush
Hannah Ray Bottlebrush
The Hannah Ray Bottlebrush is a eye-catching flowering tree prized for its graceful, drooping branches and brilliant scarlet blooms that appear throughout late spring and summer. This vigorous grower combines soft, silvery-green foliage with dramatic color and movement in the landscape. When you buy Hannah Ray Bottlebrush online from Florida Plant Nursery, you're investing in a low-maintenance specimen that attracts hummingbirds and butterflies while resisting deer and thriving in hot, dry conditions.
Landscaping Uses
Plant the Hannah Ray in full sun as a focal point planting, natural flowering screen, or informal hedge. Its weeping form works beautifully as a specimen tree where its cascading branches can be seen from multiple angles. With proper early training, you can encourage an upright tree shape that showcases the blooms above the canopy, or leave it naturally bushy for a softer, more informal appearance. It's an excellent choice for warm-climate gardens seeking seasonal color and structure.

Planting & Care
Choose a location in full sun with well-draining soil. Dig a planting hole twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper, position the tree at soil level, backfill, and water thoroughly. Water regularly during the establishment period; once mature, water only during prolonged dry spells. Apply balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring each year. Prune lightly after flowering to refine the shape and encourage bushier growth, or selectively remove lower branches while young if training to a single-trunk tree form.
