Grevillea 'Peaches and Cream'
Moderately dense spreading shrub 1.5m in diameter with large cream pink/red terminal racemes for most of the year. Diagnosis:The grouping characteristics used to identify the most similar varieties of common knowledge were – Leaf: margin pinnatisect. Inflorescence: position terminal, form cylindrical. Flower colour: intensifying from cream before anthesis, to pink or red after anthesis. On the basis of these grouping characteristics the following varieties were chosen as comparators: ‘Ned Kelly’ and ‘Superb’. ‘Robyn Gordon’ was also considered for its similar parentage but later excluded as it has red flowers and the early stage colours do not include cream.
