Notas de cultivo

This grevillea is a moderate sized full shrub that makes a great screen. Sheer it to make the plant extra dense or prune selectively to open it up and make an open airy form. You can also prune off lower branches to expose the trunk in a standard form.

Yellowing leaves indicate that the plant is either overwatered or has a PH imbalance. To lower the PH use cottonseed meal or chelated iron.

Interés especial

It's interesting that such a soft and beautiful shrub is named after Australia's notorious 19th century outlaw Edward 'Ned' Kelly, who survived a shootout with police while wearing a suite of bulletproof armor. He was subsequently hanged and his armor is on display in the state library of Victoria, including 18 bullet marks.
