Description
"Jelly Baby", a captivating cultivar of the Grevillea family, springs to life from its Grevillea lanigera x lavandulacea 'Tanunda race' lineage. Adorned with vibrant pinkish-red flowers from Makuru (winter) to Kambarang (late spring), this small shrub also boasts soft, frosty blue-green foliage, adding a unique touch to any garden setting. A touch of whimsy and continual blooming makes it an irresistible focal point for garden enthusiasts.
Designed to flourish in-ground, "Jelly Baby" appreciates well-conditioned sandy soils to truly showcase its beauty. As it settles into its surroundings, it becomes impressively drought-resistant, a testament to its Australian roots. To keep it dancing vibrantly throughout the year, a sprinkle of low-phosphorus native fertiliser in Djilba (early spring) is all it asks.
