Grevillea
Evelyn’s Coronet: is thought to be a hybrid with Grevillea
buxifolia and Grevillea lavendulacea as parents. “Evelyn’s
Coronet” develops into a medium, rounded shrub. The narrow-oblong leaves are
about 20 mm long. The handsome flowers are held erect and are carried on the
ends of branches. The flowers have the appearance of a crown or coronet. The
woolly flowers are grayish-pink with bright pink styles. The flower shape and
colour are reminiscent of Grevillea buxifolia. “Evelyn’s Coronet”
is an eye-catching plant. The flower shape and colour are attractive features.
At Yallaroo this hybrid has proved to be hardy and free flowering. It is
certainly easier to grow and propagate than Grevillea buxifolia. Pruning
will keep the plants compact and blooming bounteously.
Must be propagated from cuttings.
