Cultivar Name

Grevillea 'Peaches and Cream'

Origin

Open pollination Presumed parent Grevillea bipinnatifida and Grevillea banksii. PBR Status: Granted: 24-Dec-2004

Characteristics

Moderately dense spreading shrub 1.5m in diameter with large cream pink/red terminal racemes for most of the year. Diagnosis:The grouping characteristics used to identify the most similar varieties of common knowledge were – Leaf: margin pinnatisect. Inflorescence: position terminal, form cylindrical. Flower colour: intensifying from cream before anthesis, to pink or red after anthesis. On the basis of these grouping characteristics the following varieties were chosen as comparators: ‘Ned Kelly’ and ‘Superb’. ‘Robyn Gordon’ was also considered for its similar parentage but later excluded as it has red flowers and the early stage colours do not include cream.

Cultivation

Performs best in an open to semi-shaded situation in well-drained soils. Severe frosts may burn the softer new growth, but mild frosts are tolerated. It responds well to pruning.
