Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A more subtle Grevillea with deep green leaves and large, dark, ruby-red flowers produced in winter and then again in the summer. Because the flowers are so dark they get a bit lost among the foliage, so the plant is not exceptionally eye-catching from a distance, but it is still a very attractive plant. Planted where the flowers can be viewed up close, their size and deep color can be appreciated. This cultivar might not be the best for hot, dry areas, though it still grows well without supplemental water for me on clay soil. Tolerates more shade than most Grevilleas. Although rated to 15 °F, I think it may be hardy to 10 °F if grown tough. Don't water this one too much in the summer! Australia.
