The Grevilleas are a member of a diverse family called Proteaceae, named after the God of many Forms in Greek mythology. Their leaves may be broad, needle or fern like or many shapes in between. The flowers in their arrangements from ‘spider, toothbrush to bottle brush’ and in colour through every hue from white to black. Most Grevilleas have long flowering periods with some being in bloom all year. They are the most valuable plants for attracting honey-eating birds to the garden. Grevilleas need sun and regular pruning will prolong their life & shape.
Its a large shrub up to 4 metres in height by a similar spread. It has greyish-green, pinnately lobed leaves to around 30 mm long. The white flowers occur in long, branching, candle-like clusters up to 250 mm long. Flowers appear in late spring to summer and are highly scented.
This species is closely related to G.leucopteris and the flowers share with that species a strong, unpleasant aroma often described as resembling "old socks". Despite this, it is a very spectacular grevillea which should be more widely cultivated, particularly in areas with a Mediterranean-type climate of hot, dry summers and wet winters.
