Description
Grevillea victoriae, also called Victoria Grevillea or Royal Grevillea, is a botanic species interesting for its hardiness and long-lasting red flowering. This beautiful shrub native to the mountainous regions of southeastern Australia is characterised by a naturally rounded habit, flexible branches, and relatively large leaves for a Grevillea. It has beautiful green foliage with grey highlights, which remains evergreen in winter. This species prefers a non-calcareous soil that is not too dry.
Grevillea victoriae is a tree of the Proteaceae family. In Australia, it is found in the mountains of New South Wales. It forms a medium-sized bush with a habit that is both rounded and upright. Depending on the growing conditions, it can reach a height of 2m with a similar spread. Its branches are more or less spreading to ascending, or even slightly trailing. The leaves are elliptical to lanceolate in shape, or even broadly ovate, pointed or rounded. They measure 6 to 12 cm in length. The leaf is smooth and dark green with a bluish tint on the upper side, while the silky undersides are silver-grey. They are decorative all year round in mild climates, but can be damaged by frost from -5 or -6°C onwards. A well-established specimen can withstand brief frosts of around -9 to -10°C in very well-drained soil. The flowering is abundant in November and can continue for several months, or even all year round in mild, not too dry climates. The flowers, grouped in pendulous, conical and loose clusters, appear at the ends of the branches or in the axils of the leaves. They are tubular, measuring 2.5 cm in length, and bright red.
Grevillea victoriae can be used as a hedge or as a solitary specimen in coastal gardens. In a large exotic bed, it can be planted alongside other Australian plants such as Callistemons, a Melaleuca gibbosa, or Leptospermum 'Silver Sheen'. As a hedge, it can be accompanied by 'Olearia virgata or the tall Escallonia Iveyi with white flowers, for example.

Planting and care
Grevillea victoriae is best planted in spring, after the last frosts. It is a relatively hardy species, a well-established subject that can survive brief frosts of around -9 °C in very well-drained soil. It requires soil with an acidic to neutral pH, sandy, gritty, and not retaining too much water. This species tolerates moderate drought.
Choose a sunny location, relatively sheltered from the wind. Dig a large hole (70 or 80 cm on each side and in depth) and add planting compost (pH around 6) mixed with the existing soil. Water regularly for the first two years until the young plant is well rooted. After that, it will only require occasional watering in a prolonged drought.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
