Cultivar Name

Grevillea 'Poorinda Hula'

Origin

Grevillea 'Poorinda Hula' is said to be a hybrid between G. trinervis and G. linearis.

Characteristics

It is a small dense shrub growing to a height of about 1m. The pungent leaves are entire and are 15-35mm in length by about 3mm wide. The upper leaf surface is shiny green with three distinct veins whilst the undersurface is covered with silky hairs, particularly on new growth. The flowers are formed in clusters and are brorne terminally on short branchlets. The perianth is a rich deep pink and 7mm long whilst the persistant style is bright pink and between 12-14mm long. Diagnosis: This cultivar is different from G. trinervis in that perianth is about half the length usually seen in G. trinervis. It is different from G. linearis in that it is smaller in size than G. linearis which usually grows up to a height of about 3m.

Cultivation

Suitable for well drained soils. Best in a sunny site but will tolerate some shade. Frost resistant to -6C. Responds well to pruning.
