Donnie, even here on zone 7b; my 'Casecade' bottle brush is hardy (3 years here; even sitting in a half whiskey barrel). I've found that these are thristy plants. I usually give it a good soak in hot summer days, they they perch right back up. I'm delighted to find this and the regular 'erected' form bottlebrushes are hardy. Unlike the regular bottlebrush. This Cascade cultivar bloomed 3 flushes of blooms this past summer with supplemental water and fertilizer. (a liquidified balance fertilizer will do every 4-6 weeks during the growing season).
