Grevillea 'Peaches and Cream'

This cultivar is a cross between a white-flowered form of the Queensland species Grevillea banksii and Grevillea bipinnatifida from Western Australia, and was a chance seedling in a Brisbane garden.

It prefers a full sun position in well-drained soil and is tolerant of a wide range of conditions including humidity, drought and frost. Its long flowering period attracts birds to your garden.

Having Grevillea banksii in its parentage, there is the possibility that it may cause contact dermatitis in some people.
