Grevillea Cherry Pie
You beauty! Cherry Pie is a delicious half-size twist on old favourite Elegance - feathery fine leaves, vibrant deep pink-red winter flowers rich in nectar for birds and mammals.
It grows happily in central QLD and southern VIC, in most kinds of freedraining soil, so it's worth a punt in your garden too.
Grevillea longistyla x johnsonii Tucker Time™ 'Cherry Pie'
APPEARANCE : Large shrub hybrid. Fine feathery slender foliage; large deep pink-red flowers appear in winter-spring and sporadically at other times. G johnsonii is found in NSW; G longistyla is a QLD grevillea; both found in the wild on rocky sandstone
USE FOR : Native gardens. Coastal gardens. Winter colour. Feature shrubs for ornamental use and to attract birdlife.
CLIMATE: Tolerates frost and drought once established. Humidity tolerant too as it was bred in central QLD
PLANTING: Prefers full sun to part shade in free-draining clay, sandy or loam soil. This grevillea should be able to tolerate alkaline soils, unlike many other grevilleas, so test its pH resilience.
CARE: Water during the first 8-12 weeks until the plant is established. Prune if needed after flowering to keep it bushy. 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: 1.5-1.8 m x 1.5-1.8m 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.
