Description:
Grevillea Peach Blush is as tough as it is beautiful, a small fine foliaged shrub with bunches of long-lasting peach-red & yellow flowers displayed from autumn to spring. It grows in cool temperate to sub tropical and semi arid climates, in well drained clay or sandy loam soils of neutral to low acid pH. Frost hardy and handles second-line coastal sites readily. Use Grevillea Peach Blush as a container plant, as a hedge or as a blender mixed with other fine foliaged shrubs. And don’t forget to keep water bowls topped up in warmer weather for the birds that will be attracted to your garden.
