Grevillea Ivory Whip
Grevillea Ivory Whip

A wonderful winter flowering plant Grevillea Ivory Whip has large ‘Ivory White’ flowers. Although winter is the main flowering g period, this is a variety that will flower almost right through the year in good conditions.

The dense foliage is a haven for birds, and a short but stout trunk raises the canopy so that a variety of shade loving plants could be grown underneath.

Care

In a sunny position and a well drained soil this is an easy care plant. It will grow in a little shade, however flowering is best in full sun.

Best grown in an open position where it gets good air flow.

  • Dig the soil over well to twice the diameter of the container.
  • Add some well rotted cow manure and aged compost.
  • Plant at the same level the tree was in the container.
  • Water in well with a liquid seaweed fertiliser.
  • Water lightly in the first summer.
  • Mulch around the tree to maintain a cool root run.

During long dry periods a deep watering will keep the plant looking good.

Fertiliser

No fertiliser is requires in good soils. You can use a little specialist native plant fertiliser (low phosphate) in poor soils if desired.

Pruning

A little tip pruning may assist a bushy growth habit
