Such a pretty grevillea , its large conical blooms are somethere in colour between creme patissiere and high-end moisturiser- a gentle cream-lemon-palest peach. It blooms for most months of the year; regular light pruning will encourage more gorgeous flowers and help keep it bushy.

Note : Our Ivory Whips are grafted grevilleas, unlike most of our other varieties. Grafting joins the main plant to another, more robust or adaptable, rootstock. This means it will grow in a wider range of soil types. Read more here

Description

Grevillea 'Ivory Whip'

APPEARANCE : Medium sized shrub with large conical showy flowers that appear throughout the year. Bred by Richard Tomkin of Changers Green nursery.
USE FOR : Suited to wildlife gardens, native gardens, for cut flowers.
CLIMATE: Tolerates dry periods once established. Might come through a light overnight frost
PLANTING: Plant in full sun for maximum flowering. Prefers free draining soil and regular water to encourage flowering. Note : this 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: 1.5 - 2m H x 2 - 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.
