Proteaceae > Grevillea hookeriana var. ,



Grevillea hookeriana (Black Toothbrushes or Hooker's Grevillea) is a shrub species in the family Proteaceae. It is endemic to the south west region of Western Australia.[1]

It usually grows to between 0.5 and 2.5 metres in height and 4 metres wide..[2] Yellow, red or black "toothbrush" flowers are produced between May and November.[1]

A cultivar known as G.'Red Hooks' (often erroneously referred to as G. hookeriana or G. hookerana) has been in cultivation for many years. It is a hybrid of G. hookeriana and G. tetragonoloba.[3]

G. hookeriana is comparatively rare in cultivation, and less vigorous than the cultivar. It is best suited to a climate where the summers are dry.[3] It requires good drainage and prefers a sunny or partially shaded position and has moderate frost resistance.[3] Propagation is from semi-mature cuttings or seed.[3]
