Grevillea 'Poorinda Peter'

Grevillea ‘Poorinda Peter’

A spreading medium shrub with very attractive dark green toothed leaves, bronze new growth and purple toothbrush-like flowers. Good general garden shrub for larger areas or as a screen plant that is regularly pruned. The foliage is great for floral arrangement work.

Feed in spring and summer with a good native fertilizer, watering in well afterwards to avoid leaf burn.
