“Grevillea ‘Peaches and Cream’ is a Grevillea hybrid that has become incredibly popular and is native to Australia. It’s a type of evergreen shrub that blooms all year round.
The flowers actually change in color as they mature, starting off yellow and then becoming pink and orange, hence the name peaches and cream.
The Grevillea ‘Peaches and Cream’ produce plenty of nectar which bees and hummingbirds absolutely love. The shrub leaves are bright green but also have a hint of bronze on the tips during the wintertime.
Grevillea ‘Peaches and Cream’ does well in a whole range of climates, whether dry or humid. It can handle frost and almost any type of soil.
The parents of this particular hybrid are the Grevillea bipinnatifida which comes from Western Australia, and Grevillea banksii, from Queensland. The Grevillea ‘Peaches and Cream’ cultivar was first spotted in Brisbane in 1997 and became an official variety in 2006.
The shrub is versatile because you can grow it in acidic soil, as long as it’s well-draining, and the plant will do well in either full sun or partial shade. Once this Grevillea has matured it can handle drought well.
Grevillea ‘Peaches and Cream’ looks great as a hedge or screen and is effective as a windbreak. If you’re living by the coast, the shrub will do well.”
