Protea Family
From Australia, Grevillea “Pink Pearl” has pretty flowers. It’s just starting to bloom, so there should be many more to come.
Proteas are becoming more popular so we’ve started adding more members of this exciting low-water plant family. I really wanted to add the pin cushions – the Leucospermums, but I can’t get my dirty little hands on any right now. Maybe later this year. In the meantime, we’re trying out the very different Grevilleas.
This one, the Grevillea “Pink Pearl” is an evergreen shrub that will get 6ft. x 8ft. Hardy into the low 20s. I hear they’re popular in the greater Brisbane area. Or Canberra, I always forget which.
