Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Looking unlike any other Grevillea, this exciting introduction adds to the already vast range of textures and forms of hardier Grevilleas. The lobed, felty silvery leaves look great in any season, and racemes of apricot-pink flowers cover the plant in spring. It makes a low, spreading shrub to about 2' x 6', and in a sunny spot with good drainage, it is quite undemanding. This hybrid is a cross between G. bipinnatifida and G. 'Clearview Robin', which could really mean anything as far as hardiness, but it certainly ought to be hardy to at least somewhere in the teens °F. Try it and find out - certainly it ought to get pretty far in a sheltered garden!
