Grevillea lavandulacea 'Moonglow'
Low spreading shrub, 0.5m (h) x 0.75m (w)
Flowers:
Light cream–pale yellow, inflorescence 40mm x 60mm, from Aug–Oct
Foliage colour:
Grey/green
Comparators:
Grevillea lavandulacea
Grevillea 'Electric Velvet'
Open shrub, 1.5 m (h) x 1.2 m (w)
Flowers:
Terminal pendulous bottle brush type flowers ca 35–40mm in
diameter x 80–100mm long from Jun–Jan
Foliage colour:
Linear terete, much divided grey-green
Comparators:
Grevillea oligomera, G. magnifica
Reasons for distinctiveness:
Grevillea 'Electric Velvet' differs from G.
oligomera in its more open, spreading habit with grey-green, mostly divided
leaves, and in its large bottlebrush blue-grey and pink flowers being held
on arching to cascading leafless branches just beyond the foliage. It
differs from Grevillea magnifica in its far smaller and spreading habit,
and in its flowers being held in an arching to pendulous habit just beyond
the foliage.
Grevillea 'Panrock Princess'
Upright compact shrub, 1.5 m (h) x 1.75 m (w)
Flowers:
Terminal erect bottle brush type flowers ca 25–30mm in diameter x
60–70mm long from Aug–Feb
Foliage:
Linear terete and much divided, green
Comparators:
Grevillea oligomera, G. petrophiloides
Reasons for distinctiveness:
Grevillea 'Panrock Princess' differs from G.
oligomera in its green, mostly divided leaves, and in its rich pink
bottlebrush flowers being held on erect leafless branches just above the
foliage. It differs from Grevillea petrophiloides in its smaller and erect
habit, and in its rich pink flowers being held on shortly leafless branches
just above the foliage.
Grevillea 'Spider Mist'
Compact shrub, 2.0m (h) x 2.0m (w)
Flowers:
Perianth: Red; stamens: yellow; conflorescence 40mm x 60mm; from
July-Sept
Foliage colour:
Grey/green
Comparators:
Grevillea arenaria, Grevillea ‘Fireworks’
Reasons for distinctiveness:
Grevillea ‘Spider Mist’ is a medium compact
shrub with leaves and form similar to G. arenaria but the flowers are more
like those of G. ‘Fireworks’. Grevillea ‘Fireworks’ is a small upright
shrub to one metre.
Grevillea 'Lawson Queen'
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.
Ozothamnus diosmifolius 'Strawberry Cream'
A small, bushy and hardy perennial shrub to about 1.2 m high and 0.7 m wide which produces a prolific display of red pink flower buds in late Winter which progressively fade to light pink as the buds mature. The flowers then open to a lemon colour throughout spring, resulting in a multicoloured effect from late Winter – Spring. Comparitor: Ozothamnus ‘Cosmic’ Diagnosis: Ozothamnus ‘Cosmic’ has a rounded capitulum and is white.
Dianella revoluta 'REV101'
Clumping plant with dark green strappy leaves which fold over slightly, giving it good ground coverage.
Well displayed terminal blue flowers in Spring.
Grevillea 'Amethyst'
Grevillea 'Amethyst' is a compact rounded small shrub to 1m ×
1m.
Flowers:
Late winter to late spring, mauve-pink
Foliage:
Small linear simple leaves, upper surface mid-green.
Comparators:
Grevillea confertifolia, Grevillea sericea
Reasons for distinctiveness:
Grevillea confertifolia differs in having
sessile inflorescences and flowers with pistils slightly shorter (10–12.5
mm). Grevillea sericea has longer pistils (> 19 mm long) and less prickly
leaves.
Grevillea 'New Blood'
Groundcover to 0.25m (h) x 1–1.5m (w)
Flowers:
March–September, bright red, conflorescence to 50mm in diameter
Foliage colour:
Dark green
Comparators:
Grevillea juniperina red prostrate form
Reasons for distinctiveness:
Compact plant with abundance of bright red
flowers.
Grevillea 'Merinda Gordon'
This cultivar is an upright shrub 3m tall by 2m across. The
leaves are 2.5 to 3cm long by ca. 2.5cm wide at the widest point. The
leaves are stiff and leathery with the midrib of the leaf being strongly
curved (reflexed). The leaves have a dentate margin with pungent points on
each lobe. The venation is prominent, being yellow green in colour. The
veins stand out from the leaf surface on the underside. The flowers are a
rich pink to red. The style and pedicel are covered with a dense coat of
silky hairs and there are scattered hairs on the perianth segments. The
main flowering season is late winter to early spring though is also
sporadic with flowers often appearing after rain.
Diagnosis:
The leaves of Grevillea 'Merinda Gordon' resemble those of G.
insignis though they are smaller in size. G. insignis leaves are about
5.5cm long by 3cm wide at the widest point though are variable. They are
roughly ovate and undulate with dentate margins surrounded by a pungent
tip. The leaves of the cultivar are more crowded on the stems than in G.
insignis. G. asteriscosa has much smaller, almost sessile leaves that are
deeply trifid and have pungent lobes. The stems of G. insignis are glabrous
with a mealy bloom while Grevillea 'Merinda Gordon' is glabrous without the
mealy bloom. G. asteriscosa has hairy stems. The flowers of the cultivar
are intermediate in size between the parent species, smaller than G.
insignis but larger than G. asteriscosa. The style is glabrous in G.
insignis except near the base while the styles of both G. asteriscosa and
the cultivar are hairy.
