Unusual and rarely seen hybrid grevillea with large rounded butter-yellow flowers looped in hot pink appearing through the cooler months, and very slender leaves year-round. We've seen some plants with all yellow flowers too.

Flora grows on sandy clay in her native WA so she should find her feet in a range of garden soils. Usually well over head height in milder climates, in cold zones she may only reach chest height.

We love Flora Mason for her cool-month flowering season, bird-friendly flowers, tolerance of clay soils

Grevillea pinaster x olivacea 'Flora Mason'
APPEARANCE : Large shrub hybrid of two WA native grevilleas; fine slender foliage with a silver-grey hue; large rounded flowers, warm yellow tipped with bright pink appear from autumn through winter. Plants are dense and bushy, fast-growing, and reach larger sizes in milder climates.
ORIGIN : G pinaster and G olivacea are WA species found along the coast, pinaster in sandy clay and olivacea in sandy limestone
USE FOR : Native gardens. Coastal gardens. Winter colour. Feature shrubs for ornamental use and to attract birdlife.
CLIMATE: Tolerates frost once established - reportedly down to -8C
PLANTING: Prefers full sun to part shade in free-draining soil. This grevillea should be able to tolerate alkaline soils, unlike many other grevilleas, so test its pH resilience. Also happy growing in clay unlike other grevilleas. The parent species has vigorous roots so avoid planting this one too near pipes.
CARE: Water during the first 8-12 weeks until the plant is established. Prune after flowering to keep it neat and dense. 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: 1.5-3 m x 1.5-3 m 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.
You can see an example in the image gallery.
