Hi, I wonder if anyone is growing bottlebrush in a container, and if so
which one and what sort of conditions it needs. I have a north facing
but quite bright balcony, minimum will probably be around -5C.

Yes, I do, and it gets colder than that here. I haven't seen any
flowers, but I gre it from seed. You need one of the hardy species
and a well-drained compost.

Mine came from a cutting, outdoors in summer, frost free greenhouse in
winter. No flowers.
