Grevillea petrophiloides {Pink Pokers}

Native to Western Australia, Grevillea Pink Pokers is a very unusual, ornamental shrub. The plant itself is quite rounded and bushy but where it differs from the “typical grevillea" appearance is with the long leafless branches, known as canes, that grow above the rest of the bush. The striking cylindrical dark pink terminal flowers tinged emerald-green to grey-blue flowers are held quite proudly on the ends of these canes and act like beacons to draw honeyeaters, humming birds and bees from some distance. Plant Pink Pokers as an outstanding feature bush and in native gardens. Prune to create a dense, compact shape.
