Grevillea 'Pink Lady'
Description
Grevillea 'Pink Lady' is a beautiful and popular evergreen shrub known for its stunning flowers and hardy nature. It is a cultivar of the Grevillea genus, which belongs to the Proteaceae family and is native to Australia.
Height and Width
- Height: Typically reaches a height of 1.5 to 2 metres.
- Width: Spreads out to a width of about 1 to 1.5 metres.
Soil Type
- Soil Preference: Grevillea 'Pink Lady' prefers well-drained soils. It can tolerate a range of soil types from sandy to loamy soils but thrives best in slightly acidic to neutral soils. It is also known for its tolerance to poor soils and can perform well in nutrient-depleted areas.
Plant Description
- Foliage: The shrub features fine, needle-like leaves that are dark green and can be slightly prickly to the touch. The foliage is dense, providing a lush and green appearance throughout the year.
- Growth Habit: Grevillea 'Pink Lady' has a compact and bushy growth habit, making it suitable for use as a hedge, in mass plantings, or as a specimen plant in gardens.
Flower Description
- Flower Colour: The flowers of Grevillea 'Pink Lady' are a striking pink, often with a slightly deeper pink or red hue at the base.
- Flower Shape: The flowers are spider-like in shape, characteristic of many Grevillea species, and are composed of long, slender, and curved floral parts that extend outward, giving them a unique and eye-catching appearance.
- Blooming Season: This plant flowers prolifically from late winter through to spring and often has sporadic blooming throughout the year, especially in milder climates.
- Attracts Wildlife: The nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to birds, especially honeyeaters, and various pollinating insects, making it a great plant for wildlife gardens.
Cultivation and Care
- Watering: Once established, Grevillea 'Pink Lady' is quite drought-tolerant. It requires regular watering during its initial growth period but can survive on natural rainfall once mature.
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun to partial shade. Full sun encourages the best flower production.
- Pruning: Light pruning after the main flowering period can help maintain a neat shape and promote denser growth.
- Fertilising: Use a low-phosphorus fertiliser if necessary, as Grevilleas are sensitive to phosphorus.
