Grevillea ‘Superb’

A well-deserved name for this hybrid Grevillea, Grevillea ‘Superb’ is a compact evergreen shrub grown for its long-lasting flowers and the lovely textural quality of its deeply divided, light green leaves. Large, cylindrical clusters of coral, pink and yellow flowers, up to 5 in. long (12 cm), are produced at the end of each branch over most of the year. They supply birds and hummingbirds with a copious supply of nectar. The flowers make excellent cut flowers. Reliable in various climates and soils, it is unusually frost hardy to 25°F (-3°C). ‘Superb’ is a hybrid Grevillea resulting from a cross between Grevillea bipinnatifida and Grevillea banksii.
