Grevillea Rosy
Posy™
This small compact shrub (1.2m x
1.2m) grows easily in a wide range of soils and climates, from
cool temperate to sub tropical and semi arid. It produces
large pendulous racemes of waxy pink and cream flowers from winter to early summer,
extremely attractive to all honeyeaters. The dense needle
foliage provides safe nesting habitat for small birds such
as Scrub Wrens. It loves full sun or light shade, and
grows best in moist, well drained clay loams or sandy soils;
mildly alkaline to acid pH suitable.
It
is extremely frost hardy, and does very well
in coastal gardens.
A showy specimen shrub covered in bloom, promoted
by regular tip pruning.
Use: as scattered plantings amongst other shrubs, or plant at 1.5m centres and
trim as a flowering hedge. Rosy Posy is an outstanding
magnet for honey-eating birds. For additional enjoyment,
pick sprigs for small posies of simple charm.
Rosy Posy as a posy. Flora for
Fauna? Yes! For you and the birds.
Maintenance:
Feed in early spring or late summer with controlled release low
phosphorus fertilizer. Prune to shape after flowering, or trim regularly if using as hedge.
