Grevillea barklyana
Also called Large Leaf Grevillea
Gully grevillea is an erect shrub or small tree from Victoria, Australia, grown for its pink-fawn flowers that attract birds and its ornamental foliage. It is not widely sold in nurseries, and its weak root system means it does best sheltered from wind.
Grevillea barklyana, also known as gully grevillea or large-leaf grevillea, is a species of flowering plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to Western Gippsland in Victoria, Australia. It is an erect shrub or small tree, with mostly pinnatifid leaves with two to eleven lobes, and whitish pink to fawn flowers.
Although G. barklyana is regarded as a desirable plant for cultivation, it is not widely available in nurseries. It is grown for its bird-attracting pink flowers, ornamental foliage and contrasting reddish new growth. The species can cope with heavy shade and has some frost tolerance. As it has a weak root system, plants are best situated where they are afforded wind protection by other planting. Propagation is by cuttings or seed.
Gully grevillea occurs in the upper catchments of the Bunyip and Tarago Rivers within the Bunyip State Park and adjoining State Forest. It is found in gullies and on slopes, favouring a southerly aspect and clay-loam soils that are moist but well drained. Associated tree species include Acacia dealbata, Eucalyptus obliqua, E. sieberi and E. regnans. As plants do not store seed in their canopies and are not able to resprout, it is necessary for a soil seed reserve to be established to enable them to regenerate following bushfires.
