DESCRIPTION
Grevillea victoriae 'Marshall Olbricht' produces clusters of warm apricot to orange flowers from late winter into spring, the curved blooms opening in rounded heads along the stems and drawing visiting hummingbirds. The blossoms appear among narrow, leathery leaves with deep green upper surfaces and softly silvery undersides that give the foliage a muted sheen. The evergreen leaves create a dense canopy along the branches throughout the year.

This cultivar traces its heritage to Grevillea victoriae native to southeastern Australia. In gardens it brings evergreen structure and seasonal color to borders and wildlife-friendly landscapes where the nectar-rich flowers support visiting birds.
