• Grevillea Peaches and Cream

    Date: 2010.10.12 | Category: home, Horticulture, Uncategorized | Tags: ,

    This stunning flowering Grevillea is a fairly recent addition in my garden. I’m not usually so attracted to the bi colour types but this one seemed quite attractive.

    It is flowering beautifully at the moment, much to the delight of all the local birds. I am pleased that it has thrived as the area where it is planted is quite a difficult spot. The soil has a really high clay content and it gets very dry in the Summer months. This plant has survived with no water from me, only rainfall and we havent had a lot of that lately.. We have also had quite a lot of frosts this past Winter but it continually grows.

    The flowers are quite big and full, they are also laden with sweet nectar! They would probably measure around 15cm in length and it has been flowering since mid Winter, we are now in mid Spring. It still has loads of bud covering it and I think it will flower right through the Summer too.

    This beautiful Australian Native Plant grows to 1.5m high and has a width af around the same. I would certainly recommend it after seeing how well it performs in my garden.
