Grevillea Bush Lemons

Grevillea pteridifolia x Grevillea banksii 'Bush Lemons'

APPEARANCE : Large-size warm climate grevillea, open in habit. Large fine ferny leaves which emerge silvery, and big bright yellow flowers. Fast growing into a shrub or small tree. Bred by Richard Tomkin of Changers Green nursery.
ORIGIN :Grevillea pteridifolia (manbulu, yawuny, tjummula) is unusually native to Northern Australia, from the Kimberleys of WA across NT to outback QLD. Unlike most grevilleas it prefers a 'reverse' climate of hot wet summers and dry winters. It is the parent of Honey Gem, which has larger, open, deeper yellow flowers and Sandra Gordon. G banksii is a well-known QLD variety and prolific parent of many grevilleas in our range.
USE FOR :  Suited to erosion control, coastal planting, wildlife gardens, native gardens.
CLIMATE: Tolerates dry periods once established. Needs protection from frost
PLANTING: Plant in full sun for maximum flowering. Prefers free draining soil. Note : Bush Lemons is a grafted grevillea, unlike our other varieties. This means it will grow in a wider range of soil types. The tape securing the graft point is biodegradable and should dissolve by the time the graft is complete.
CARE: Water regularly during the first 8-12 weeks until the plant is established. Prune after flowering to promote flowering, dense habit and control growth. A hard prune each 3-4 years will result in a fresh flush of flowers and foliage.  Feed with a slow release native fertiliser when buds form - grevilleas can be phosphorus-sensitive so the P ratio of the fertiliser needs to be under 3%.
HEIGHT & WIDTH: 3m H x 3m W.
YOUR PLANTS : These are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80mm high and 42 mm wide.
