Unusual foliage

,

Of course this Grevillea intricata is from WA! these amazing needle like leaves form a dense tangle with the stems remaining a deep red, it is beautiful even when not in flower. This is a grafted specimen that is planted in the Grevillea park gardens in Bulli, it does require the garden bed to be well prepared especially if you have a clay subsoil as drainage is the key, low humidity also helps but there’s not much you can do about that if on the east coast. However this really is worth a try if you are looking at grafted grevilleas as there are so many out there.

The baths are modern, elegant and durable. They are locally made in the Illawarra (NSW, Australia) using materials that will weather well and last decades. For help on which dish to choose, go here.
