Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Grevillea baueri is an attractive plant with almost stem-clasping small green leaves. It grows as a low shrub with numerous ascending small branches with flowers at the tips. With dark pink-red flowers the effect is quite showy. I have only subjected this to cold in a rather limited way so far, and it hasn't tolerated freezing weather in pots as well as I might have expected - but references indicate it may be hardy to at least 10 - 15° F and it seems worth trying in our region. We'll just have to see.
