Grevillea Orange Marmalade
Beautiful, popular and rewarding native shrub. Abundant upright deep orange flowers rich in nectar will attract birds and butterflies. For such an exuberant shrub, it clips extremely well into neat hedges - see the image gallery.
Not frost hardy, better for coastal and subtropical regions, and very tolerant of humid climates. One of our most popular Grevilleas.
Grevillea venusta x glossadenia 'Orange Marmalade'
APPEARANCE : Unconventional-looking grevillea, a large shrub with long smooth-edged oval leaves and rounded deep orange looped flowers through the year, which stand upright.
ORIGIN :G venusta originates in central QLD, around Rockhampton; G glossadenia from further north in the Atherton tablelands of FNQ.
USE FOR : Honey-laden flowers are bird attracting; specimen planting and feature shrub; informal hedging; bush gardens.
CLIMATE: Doesn't mind occasional dry spells although it flowers better with regular water; copes very well with humidity. Better in warm subtropical climates; protect from frost.
PLANTING : Well drained clay loams or sandy soil with a neutral to acid pH. Water well until established.
CARE : Cut gently back to height and shape as required, but not too much. 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%.
MATURE HEIGHT & WIDTH : 2-3m 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.
