MBN 1Gal Grevillea lanigera 'Little Drummer Boy'

Grevillea lanigera - A highly variable species found over a wide area of southeastern Australia, from middle-elevations to coastal environments, forests, scrublands and near-desert environments. It was named for its fuzzy foliage and stems. It hybridizes readily and has been grown in California since at least the 1950's and '60's, imported early on by both Saratoga Horticultural Foundation and Western Hills Nursery among probably others. That form, a much taller, more open Australian trade form, is no longer commonly seen.
