Grevillea robusta Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Prefers a rich moist soi[167], but it also succeeds in dry soils. Dislikes limey soils[1, 157]. Established plants are drought resistant[154]. This species is not very hardy when grown outdoors in Britain. In its native range it does experience frosts, though these are normally light and short-lived[167]. Plants tolerate temperatures down to -7°c in Australian gardens[157] though this cannot be translated directly to British gardens because of our cooler summers and longer, colder and wetter winters. It is usually grown as a pot plant in Britain, though it rarely flowers here[1]. A very ornamental plant[1]. Hybridizes freely with other members of this genus[157]. The flowers are very attractive to bees[154]. Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[200]. For further Grevillea robusta gardening information |
