Grevillea refracta

Grevillea refracta
On the coldest day for what seems like years, I am dreaming of Darwin and that is where this beauty comes from. It is a very open shrub with beautiful silvery bronze foliage and quite striking apricot coloured flowers. It would grow in the south only in a frost free location and in well drained soil. It is one of those native plants which needs to be planted in a group to make any impact as it is too slender to stand alone in a garden setting.
