Grevillea

Posted by funnelweb NSW Aust (My Page) on

Have just been browsing my new (Xmas gift) book on Auzzie natives and came across 2 grevilleas I must seek out and plant. Has anybody grown these: G. Tripartita, a W.A. species, and/or G.Scortechinii, a black or very dark flowered species native to the border area between NSW and Qld, which is where I garden? Any info as to growing tips, where to purchase, etc., appreciated. Also: Justcorreas, your message seeking the id of a pink flowering grevillea, which you posted a pic of some weeks ago I think I've found. I spotted it in a nursery and bought it, or one very similar, a few weeks ago called Tickled Pink. I'm pretty sure your pic was the same as the one on the label. But you've probably id's yours by now.

Hi Funnelweb - I've had my Grevillea named by Neil Marriott as being a selected form of G. rosmarinifolia called "Rosy Posy", which actually strikes quite well.

I'm not sure where you can get the two form listed above, Kuranga Nursery don't have them here in Victoria. Maybe a Sydney Nursery is best.
