Nursery contributed plant descriptions
It’s always a pleasure to check in with this little character during the cooler months. A quiet little shrub with thin leaves and an unassuming presence for most of the year, it’s easily overshadowed by the showboating Grevilleas. However, the tables are turned when the temperatures drop as pale lavender bell flowers hang from the plant on mass. A light pruning after the flowers fade will keep it in good shape
