Grastidium Deplanchei

Bottlebrush plant, scientifically known as Grastidium deplanchei, is a striking member of the Geraniaceae family native to arid regions of South America. Its most distinctive feature is its dense, bright red or orange flower clusters that resemble a bottlebrush, giving it its common name. This plant thrives in well-drained soil and full sunlight, making it a popular choice for rock gardens and xeriscaping. Its unique appearance and low maintenance requirements have made it a favorite among gardeners seeking drought-tolerant ornamental plants. Despite its beauty, it requires careful cultivation to avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.
