Grevillea ‘Sylvia’

 

A fast growing medium shrub to around 3-5 metres tall and wide.  Beautiful large rosy pink flowers that attract lots of honey eating wildlife, and make great cut flowers. A good feature or screening plant with deeply divided dark green foliage.  Best in well-drained soils in full sun or partial shade position. Tolerant of moderate frost, wind and drought once established. Prune lightly from an early age to stop the plant going too leggy.
