Really?? I man I hope so!! It was left in a neighbors yard (in the 5 gl. container still - dying for a drink of water) after they moved, my friend brought it to me, she had no where to plant it. I hate to see things die, as does she, I thought I would give it a shot, and its done wonderfully....I thought the leaves looked very similar to bottlebrush bushes I have, but not exactly, so wasn't sure what it was...been wanting one since I saw the most gorgeous one at Warrens Nursery in Kingwood. Thank you for your reply!
