Grevillea juniperina

Has anyone any experience of Grevillea juniperina?
Finding UK based info on t'internet for this small shrub appears all but impossible!

All I really want to know is..............
a; hardiness - other Grevillea are in the hardy to frost tender bracket, but no mention of mine.
b; blooming period. It was in bloom last year when I bought it in July. But they were very much the last blooms, and as the nursery told me that they bought them in as they were offered a few cheap so were unable to give me any honest advice on it it is still a bit of a mystery plant to me. They were also honest enough to say that they suspected it had been bought on under glass.

So far this winter it has been outdoors except for during the recent cold nights followed by cold days.

Pretty picture to show why I think that it's worth a little effort..............

 

From what I read the grevillea juniperina resists well to cold weather so much that it can sometimes start blossoming when covered in snow and for a longtime after.
Its flowers are a pinkish red (why are they white in your picture?).
It is suitable to grow also in proximity of the seaside preferably in sandy or acid soil.

 

This is the cultivar "Pink Lady" - pink flush at the base, fading to a creamy white at the ends.

 

I've not grown that one Longk, but I did for a while have a large bush of "Canberra Gem", I think its very similar but bright red.

It was pretty hardy for a while, but that was back in the mild winter days of the early 90s.
My plant grew like the clappers and flowered profusely in spring and intermittently through the Summer into Autumn.

A really nice shrub, slightly untidy shape wise.

 

Thanks Pete - so hardy within sensible limits then.................

And on the whole, spring is it's main season.

 

Thats my guess regarding your plant as I'm thinking they are similar.
