Grevillea sericea - silky Grevillea
APPEARANCE : Native shrub naturally found on the central coast of NSW, which gets its name from the silky-hairy underside to the small slender leaves. Small curled pink-lilac flowers from autumn to spring.USE IN :Wildlife and native gardens as flowers attract nectar-feeding birds and insects; feature plant; for native bees and honey production; in coastal locations.
LOCATION : Plant in well drained soil in a full sun in the garden. Tolerates drought and light frost once established.
CARE : Mulch and water regularly until the plant is established, usually around 12 weeks. Prune after flowering to promote compact growth and prolific blooms during the next flowering season. 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 - 2m H x 1 - 2m W variable depending on location.
YOUR PLANTS : These are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80 mm x 42 mm wide.
