aka Grevillea

A hybrid Grevillea from Australia that forms a broad upright bush. Deeply divided foliage, dark green on top, silvery underneath. Racemes of salmon pink flowers that birds and the bees love appear nearly all year round. Likes a sunny well drained spot with protection from harsh frost. Evergreen.

Grevilleas will grow quite happily in quite poor soil. They should not be over-fed and in fact thrive on a little bit of neglect. They are particularly intolerant of fertilizer with too much phosphorous and they don't like chicken manure either. If in doubt leave it out.

With its robust upright spreading habit it will be smothered in large clusters of stunning, deep orange flowers on the end of the branches from late Autumn to Spring. Prefers a well drained position in full sun. Prune for shape and size once flowering has finished.
