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.

0.3 m. Flower stems are 1m and branched. Flowers are borne in September to
November and are reddish orange with cream anthers.

smooth tubular, 3-4cm densely hairy. The lobes are not turned back, colours
are yellow-green, red, pink, yellow and green. Common in a wide range of
soils and climate but frost damage can occur. Moist light to medium soils

November. Leaves are deciduous; sparse, nearly terete, finely pointed.
Flower stems are 1.0m long, tubular, 5-6cm woolly hairs. Two terminal
clusters , lobed but not reflexed. Claw-like in appearance, orange to
yellow and red colour.Cultivation is difficult, prefers moist and
well-drained soil in partial to full sun. Divide regularly to promote
vigorous growth. Does well in containers. Propagation is by seed or
division.
Anigozanthos 'Charm' is a manipulated hybrid growing to 0.6m in height.
Flowers from September to November. Leaves are glossy green, 0.3m in
length. Flower stems are reddish-orange and the anthers are cream. A
feature is the cultivar's resistance to snails and ink disease. Propagation
is by vegetative means only.

Anigozanthos 'Early Spring'
This cultivar has flowering stems to about 1.1m tall, mostly
glabrous with a covering of dark purple tomentose hairs. The flowers are on
terminal branchlets which are divaricately branched. The flowers have
pedicels to about 4mm long. The wool on the flowers is dark red, plumose
over the whole surface with occasional yellow green hair giving them a
slightly dusty appearance. The perianth tube is around 45mm long, glabrous
inside and minutely scabrous dotted below the middle. The perianth loves
are about 10mm long with dense woolly yellow green and sometimes orange
plumose hairs inside. The anthers ar shorter than the filaments, the
connective tipped with a reduced gland like appendage. The ovules are about
6 per locule.
Diagnosis:
The flowers of Anigozanthos 'Early Spring' have the colouring of
A. rufus. They are similar in length to A. flavidus but broader than A.
flavidus or A. viridis and not as broad as A. rufus. The bracts are
narrower and less hairy than A. rufus but broader than those in A. flavidus
. The stems are more hairy than A. rufus. The leaves are much broader and
not as long as A. viridis. The ovary is less prominent than in A. flavidus
. Anigozanthos 'Early Spring' does not grow as tall as A. rufus.
