Grevillea ‘Bulli Beauty’, Grevillea ‘Bulli Princess’ and Grevillea ‘Bulli Envy’. What do these stunning beauties have in common?

Well, they are native plants that were developed here in the Illawarra by the Illawarra Grevillea Park Botanic Garden.

‘Bulli Beauty’ is a medium-sized shrub with fern-like dense foliage bearing a profusion of beautiful large pink flowers all year round. It is now an important plant in the cut flowers industry.

‘Bulli Princess’ is a large shrub with fascinating white/purple/pink/cream spider like flowers about the size of 50c piece. Birds are attracted by the abundant nectar at the base of the flowers. Very quick growing, it is also a wonderful plant for a hedge. As luck would have it, in 2018 a plant with grey foliage emerged in a crack between the pavers.

A year later and this wonderful large deep green flower with yellow styles appeared. It was so good that it became the third to have Bulli in its name. Unlike the other Bulli grevilleas, ‘Bulli Envy’ is a ground cover that likes full sun and will cover an area of 2-3metres. It’s a stunner!

The Spring Open Days at the Illawarra Grevillea Park Botanic Garden are the first two weekends in September from 10am-4pm.
