Pink Candelabra is grafted, so the young stem has a graft point near the base, held with biodegradable tape that dissolves on its own. Keep the graft above the soil when planting. Availability of the tube depends on our grower, who does not always have it ready. A sold out tube is simply waiting for the next batch, and the notify button on the page sends you an email the day it is back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95. Every plant is covered by our 30 day healthy plant guarantee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlant care guides and related reading\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/grevilleas\"\u003eBrowse the full grevillea range\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/screening-plants-2m-to-4m\"\u003eScreening plants 2m to 4m\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/blog\/tall-screening-plants-to-block-two-storey-neighbour\"\u003eTall screening plants for privacy\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/blog\/grevillea-care-guide\"\u003eGrevillea care guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is it grafted?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrafting joins the flowering plant to a more robust rootstock, so it grows in a wider range of soils.
