Grevillea 'Lemon Daze'
‘Lemon Daze’ is a small shrub with bright yellow and pink pendulous flowers. It is a hardy plant which flowers from autumn till spring. ‘Lemon Daze’ grows 1 – 1.5m high and 1m across.
Grevillea 'Tirari Blaze'
Description Small-Medium Shrub
Plant size: 1.5m (h) x 2.0m (w) Flower colour: Red Leaves:Dark green Flower size: 40 - 80mm long x 60mm wide Flowering time: Summer-Autumn Frost hardiness: High
Has the cultivar been tested: Has been tested extensively in SA and Victoria since 2001.
Note:
The Grevillea Study Group reports that it has also been sold under
the name G. trueriana 'Rosy Opal’ by another nursery.
G. 'Tirari Blaze' has much larger, redder flowers
and softer foliage than G. trueriana. G. ‘Tirari Blaze' has more compact,
redder terminal flowers and more compact habit than G. 'Long John'.
Grevillea 'Knockout'
A small hardy Grevillea with an amazing display of red/yellow flowers. ‘Knockout’ grows to approximately 1 metre tall and wide. It has dense dark green foliage. This plant is a big hit during winter into spring, when it can be smothered in flowers.
Grevillea 'Forest Rambler'
A sprawling mid-green, bushy, fertile shrub (2-)2.5-3.5 m high 3-6 m wide. Leaves:simple,4-6 cm long, 4-7.5 mm wide, glabrous, elliptic, upper surface flat, mid-green, lower surface pale-green; texture leathery.
Flowers:pedicels 7 mm long; p erianth10 mm long, p istil27 mm long; style 16 mm long. Flower Colour: Buds green becoming pink on the lower perianth, utlimately the perianth all pink with limb pale pink. Pistil green.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar most closely resembles G. shiressii from which it differs in its rambling habit, its shorter leaves with acute apices and its pale pink flowers.
Similar hybrids - Grevillea ‘Ruby Clusters’ (syn. G.‘Splendour’ ) closely resembles this cultivar but differs in its deep red flowers.
Grevillea 'Honey Gem'
Leaves are very deeply pinnately lobed ie. as deep as the
midrib. Each leaf is more or less 29cm long and more or less 24cm wide.
Individual lobes of the leaves are 18cm long and from 2-4mm wide. The upper
surface of the leaf is dark green and the underside is covered with silky
hairs. The leaf margins are rolled under. Young stems are covered with
silky hairs. Flowerheads are apricot with yellow styles, borne on a spike
16cm long and 8cm wide. Individual flowers are more or less 4cm long and
set fertile seed.
Diagnosis:
Grevillea 'Honey Gem' is distinguished from its parents in that
the leaves are intermediate between the two parent species with a bearing
towards Grevillea pteridifolia. The flowers are whorled around the flower
spike as in Grevillea banksii and not one sided as in Grevillea
pteridifolia. Grevillea 'Sandra Gordon' is a hybrid that has a common
parent with G. 'Honey Gem'. The common parent is G. pteridifolia. These
cultivars differ from one another in that Grevillea 'Sandra Gordon' has
flower racemes to 12cm long and the individual flowers are densely packed
on the raceme. The flowers are a bright yellow and the deep lobes of the
leaves are generally wider than G. 'Honey Gem'. G. 'Honey Gem' has a raceme
16cm long and the individaul flowers are borne relatively loosely on the
racemes. The flowers are a browny-orange to apricot colour. The leaves are
wider and longer but the individual lobes are generally narrower than those
in G. 'Sandra Gordon'.
Ozothamnus diosmifolius 'Strawberry Cream'
A small, bushy and hardy perennial shrub to about 1.2 m high and 0.7 m wide which produces a prolific display of red pink flower buds in late Winter which progressively fade to light pink as the buds mature. The flowers then open to a lemon colour throughout spring, resulting in a multicoloured effect from late Winter – Spring. Comparitor: Ozothamnus ‘Cosmic’ Diagnosis: Ozothamnus ‘Cosmic’ has a rounded capitulum and is white.
Grevillea 'Poorinda Constance'
It can be expected to reach a height of about 4m. The leaves
are shiny on the upper surface whilst being covered with short white hairs
on the underside. Individual leaves are 2.5 - 3cm long and up to about 7mm
wide and pungent. The edges are rolled under. The flowers are produced in
clusters at the ends of short branchlets. Each flower is about 1cm long
whilst the styles are 2cm long. The flowers are a clear red colour.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar resembles G. 'Poorinda Queen' but differs from it
in having slightly larger leaves. Its leaves are 2.5 - 3cm long compared
with G. 'Poorinda Queen' which has leaves measuring 2 - 2.5cm. It also
differs in its flower colour. G. 'Poorinda Constance' has clear red flowers
instead of apricot-pink flowers.
Grevillea 'Sharon's Gold'
Moderately dense shrub, 3m (h) x 2m (w)
Flowers:
Red
Foliage colour:
Variegated
Comparators:
Grevillea ‘Firesprite’
Reasons for distinctiveness:
It was propagated
vegetatively and has maintained the variegation in all plants which have
been produced from the original and through several generations and is
identical to Grevillea ‘Firesprite’ in all other respects.
Grevillea rosmarinifolia 'Rosy Posy'
This cultivar is a form of the dark green, fine leaved variety
of G. rosmarinifolia. It grows to ca. 1.5m tall by 1.5m wide. The leaves
are linear 30-45 mm long by 1mm wide and have a mucronate point. Leaves are
glabrous above and below with very occasional silky hairs on the mid-vein
of the leaf on the underside. The branchlets are covered with scattered
silky hairs. The flowers are ca. 20mm long. The perianth is a rosy pink
with a yellow tip. The style is a deep pink to red. The racemes are 40 to
50mm long and densely packed with flowers. Flowers can be found throughout
the year with the main flowering season being late winter to early spring.
Diagnosis:
G. rosmarinifolia varies greatly over its range. Grevillea
'Rosy Posy' is distinguished by its exceptionally large racemes of flowers.
Prostanthera lasianthos 'Mint-Ice'
The cultivar has the same general morphology as for the
species. It has grown to 2m x 1.5m since it was first selected in 1984. The
differences are that P. lasianthos 'Mint-Ice' has leaves with formal white
variegation around the borders of the leaves. The leaf blades are
irregularly variegated from pale green to white. The percentage of
variegation on each leaf also differs, with some being almost totally white
to just the leaf margin variegation. The plant is more compact than usual
and the leaves slightly smaller. No reversion of the variegation has been
noted in five years. The racemes of white flowers are more compact than
usual.
Diagnosis:
This plant is easily distinguished by the leaf variegation, with
the smaller than average leaves and more compact racemes being the
secondary considerations.
