Grevillea intricata is another white-flowering WA species putting on a good winter show this year. Grafted plants (on G. robusta) can be long-lived in the east and form dense tangles of intricate foliage in the garden at Corunna, NSW - with a mass of flowers also featuring from winter into spring.

Unfortunately its rarely seen in nurseries - but is sometimes available at native plant sales. Always worth picking up a plant or two for the foliage alone!

My single Grevillea subtiliflora has been looking great this winter in the garden with flowering kicking off in May and still going now at the end of August.

This WA species is not that well known and rarely seen in nurseries - I've had two grafted plants (both on G. robusta) that I picked up at native plant sales do well over the years in Corunna NSW, but these are pretty much the only plants I've ever seen available! In the wild it has a fairly widespread distribution but still has a priority three conservation code (Poorly-known).

Like most of the early white-flowering WA grevilleas the flowers have a sweet scent. These grafted garden plants often have seeds, flowers and new buds at the same time over the long flowering period. The intricate, fine foliage is also attractive and not as prickly as most of its close white-flowering relatives!
