BottleBrush

[Peteyd]

Hi All,

We have a fairly decent sized bottlebrush in our flower border in the garden. It's been left to its own devices since we moved in (Mainly because we don't have a clue what to do with it!).

It normally flowers well but its starting to look a bit unruly. I've attached some photos of it, Any advice as to how best to keep it in shape and looking it's best would be greatly appreciated. The bee's love it when it's in full flower so for us, its a pretty important part of the garden.

Thanks

This site says pruning is minimal, hope it helps, I was never very successful with them when I lived further south.

Ah perfect thanks,

I might give it a little tidy up at the end of the year when the flowers fade.
