Here's one that I'm sure Janie and Magz know all about... Okay, maybe not "all about" but it is a Zone 7-9 plant:

                *** CALLISTEMON "WOODLAND'S HARDY" ***
                           ("Bottlebrush")

Sorry to my more northern gardening friends but I saw this at the show and thought it would make for a nice smallish plant in them landscape... It is evergreen with thin-ish leaves (like a yew) and red caterpillar shaped (fuzzy) blooms in late summer... Does nice in full sun or semi-shade... 3-5 feet High... Bushy...

Definitely one that we'll be addin' to our gardens when we get moved to NC...

Happy gardening...
