Fourteen months ago Don created a grevillea garden using crushed sandstone rubble in raised mounds 1.5-2m (5-6′) high. All the plants have grown at such an incredible rate that you’d think the garden was at least ten years old. In this same area late last year Don demonstrated pruning techniques on various grevilleas including a beautiful young specimen ofGrevillea ‘Golden Lyre’. Today the plant is covered in flower buds, proving beyond any doubt that grevilleas flower even more prolifically when pruned regularly. ‘Golden Lyre’ is one of the greatest grevilleas ever produced. It grows to about 3 metres (10′) tall and 5 metres (15′) wide, with arching branches and green/yellow brush flowers in summer and autumn. It does best in the warmer zones of Australia, north from Perth, Adelaide and Sydney.
