Description
The Grevillea "Panrock Princess", a unique hybrid of Grevillea petrophiloides x oligomera, dazzles with its display of bright, hot pink flowers. This medium shrub is an elegant testament to the fusion of two uncommon Western Australian species, providing gardens with a pop of colour almost all year round, except during the peak of hot weather. More than just a visual treat, it's also a magnet for native birds, bringing life and melody to any garden setting.
For those with a penchant for native Western Australian flora, planting "Panrock Princess" in the ground and fortifying sandy soils with a soil conditioner can create a sanctuary. As it establishes, it reveals its drought-hardy nature, but an application of low-phosphorus native fertiliser in Djilba (early spring) will ensure it continues to thrive in all its royal beauty.
