Grevillea
Orange Marmalade: is a member of the Proteaceae family and is a
hybrid whose parents are Grevillea glossadenia and Grevillea
venusta. Both parents are species that occur in Queensland.
Grevillea Orange Marmalade is a vigorous plant that may reach a
height of 2.5 metres. The elliptical leaves have prominent veins and are
about 13 centimetres long. The flowers are orange with red styles.
Flowers are carried for many months. The flower colour is unusual in
Australian native plants.
This is basically a plant for subtropical and tropical regions. We have
a specimen growing in a sheltered position. It is not happy growing on
our cold, windswept hill. In the right situation, “Orange Marmalade”
may be used to create a dense screen. Both foliage and flowers are
attractive features.
Propagate from cuttings.
