Bred in central Queensland, it tolerates humidity, frost and drought once established, and it should accept alkaline soils better than most grevilleas. It is roughly half the size of the old favourite 'Elegance'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinter colour.\u003c\/strong\u003e Large deep pink-red flowers arrive in winter and spring, when most gardens have little in bloom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNectar for wildlife.\u003c\/strong\u003e The flowers are rich in nectar for birds and mammals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity, frost and drought tolerant.\u003c\/strong\u003e Bred in central Queensland, it handles humidity and, once established, frost and dry spells.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA possible lime tolerator.\u003c\/strong\u003e It should tolerate alkaline soils, unlike many other grevilleas, though it is worth testing in your own garden.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeathery, fine foliage.\u003c\/strong\u003e Slender leaves give a soft, textured look between flowering flushes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works best\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNative and wildlife gardens.\u003c\/strong\u003e Group it with other natives to give birds winter nectar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoastal gardens.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is recommended for coastal gardens, so it earns a place in a seaside planting of natives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinter feature shrub.\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant 1.5m apart in a border, or use it alone where you can see the flowers from a window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Cherry Pie Grevillea in Australia\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePosition and climate.\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to part shade.
