Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This Grevillea strongly resembles G. rosmariniifolia in habit and in its narrow leaves, but with very dark green leaves and dark pink-red flowers in loose clusters. It makes a dense shrub to 6' or more over time with greater spread. As with most Grevilleas, it will appreciate as much sun as possible and is happy on poor, dry soils. Although not well known, this hybrid appears to tolerate a wide range of soils with ease, and it has been perfectly cold-hardy so far, to at least 10 °F.
