In the nursery | Geralton Wax (Chamelaucium) is poplar native shrub grown for its fragrant flowers and fine green foliage. In recent years plant breeders have developed a large range of hardy compact forms with different flower colours and we have several of these new varieties in the nursery this week. These include 'Dancing Queen' (pink), 'Moonlight Delight' (white) and the compact 'Little Lorey' which features white flowers that age to red. Plants in the nursery are not flowering yet - but most are in bud. Keith. #inthenursery #natives
Sentimental plant for me...my fathers mum grew them and sold to nursery in Grafton NNSW back in the 50s. Love the dark pink one had a light pink but had to take it out couple years ago
Coming to visit on Saturday!
One I plan to replace.

Thank you for all the wonderful advice you gave me about planting my beautiful grevilleas today. I can only hope the fat possums at my place don't have a nibble

Conostylis candicans is a low clumping native (closely related to kangaroo paws) that features bright yellow flowers and soft blue/grey foliage. The foliage colour provides a nice contrast to other winter flowering native shrubs with greener leaves - like banksias, kangaroo paws and grevilleas. We have new stock of C. candicans arriving this week in the nursery. Images by Silverdory Productions. Keith #inthenursery #natives

Anigozanthos manglesii is the stunning floral emblem of Western Australia - but it's a kangaroo paw that has traditionally been difficult to maintain in the east. However in recent years breeders have developed 'The Wiz - Red Green' - a select, dwarf form of A. manglesii with much better resistance to ink spot disease. The flowers retain the distinctive red and greens of the species - opening from dark buds. In stock and flowering now - images (by Silverdory Productions) are of plants in the nursery.

Grevillea 'Robyn Gordon' was one of the first hybrid grevilleas to be widely grown in gardens and remains a very popular variety today because of its stunning red/orange floral display and long flowering period.

If you're after a striking weeping standard with a very distinctive native feel then these are definitely worth dropping in for a look at!

We currently have two magnificent standard grevilleas in stock - both are over six feet tall and would make a stunning feature in any garden. The grevillea grafted onto the standard is 'Amber Blaze' which features soft, fine, grey-green foliage and large orange and yellow spikes of flowers for long periods of the year. If you're after a weeping standard with a native feel then these are definitely worth dropping in for a look! Keith. #inthenursery #grevilleas
We've had a lot of questions about these today - couple more details for anyone interested. The price on these standards is $169.95 (each) - if you're not sure how you might get them home we can arrange deliver (for free between Kianga and Bermagui). They are grafted onto Silky Oak (Grevillea robusta). Flowers are a mix of orange and yellow (see label image). You could grow them in a large pot - at least 900mm wide / deep. We do have some pots here that would be a good option. Best spot to plant them is somewhere sheltered from the wind (and frost) but with plenty of sun and light.Let me know if you are after any extra info. Thanks! Keith.
Could it be trained to grow on a trellis?
Beautiful...whats the cost
Any good for large pots ?
Do you have this grevillea

Lots of new autumn flowering stock expected in the nursrey this week - including Salvia 'Finngrove'. This blue flowering hybrid salvia also features distinctive 'cripsy' foliage (which is very aromatic). The flowers are small and a delicate blue - but there are usually a lot of them on the plant for most of the year. A great subtle contrast to more vibrant flowering perennials in the garden.Just one of a large range of new salvias arriving this week - give us a call if you are fater something specific. Keith #inthenursery #salvias

Hi Fiona. Being a "plant nut" I just about love everything. I really love Grevillea particularly the large flowering forms, Camellia sasanquas are a favourite but probably my most loved plants are Oak trees. Pin Oak, Scarlet Oaks are two that come to mind. They can be "hugged". Keith
The bottom one looks like “Early Pearly” 💚
Just out of curiosity, what is your favourite plant Keith?

The waxy white flowers appear from spring through to autumn and are are often used in wedding bouquets and floral displays.
