Cultivar Name
Grevillea 'Lawson Queen'
Origin
Wild selection
Characteristics
Open shrub, 1m (h) x 1m (w) Flowers: Deep pink Foliage colour: Dark Green Comparators: Grevillea sericea, G. oleoides Reasons for distinctiveness: Thought to be a Grevillea sericea hybrid, possibly with G. oleoides which also occurs in the area. The differences are in the deepness of the pink in the flower colour and the leaf characteristics. The very best-coloured G. sericea comes nowhere near it. The leaves are much wider than G. sericea. The leaf is a much darker green than G. sericea. Grevillea sericea can be quite variable in leaf, and for a while it was thought it could possibly be a new species however it does not set seed suggesting it may be sterile hybrid. It has been in the applicant's garden since it was first collected.
Cultivation
Highly ornamental small shrub. Suitable for well drained soils. Best in a sunny site but will tolerate some shade. Frost resistant to -6C. Responds well to pruning.
