Plant in full sun to part shade and irrigate occasionally to infrequently. It is tolerant of heat, drought, moderate cold (hardy to 20-25°F) and alkalinity. Grevillea 'Sunrise' is a hybrid between Grevillea bipinnatifida and a 1940s hybrid from Clearview Nursery called Grevillea 'Clearview Robin' that was listed as a cross between the Snowy River form of Grevillea lanigera and Grevillea lavandulacea. It was created by Pam and David Shiells of Wakiti Nurseries in 1981 and registered under the name Grevillea 'Sunrise' by the Australian Cultivar Registration Authority in 1990.

When introduced into the US the name initially used for it honored its origins and it was called 'Wakiti Sunrise but, since becoming aware that it was officially registered as Grevillea 'Sunrise', we have changed our listing of this plant to match. We first received our plants of this nice orange cultivar from Monterey Bay Nursery and we grew it from 1998 until 2004. 

The information about Grevillea 'Sunrise' that is displayed on this web page is based on research conducted in our nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We will also include observations made about this plant as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens that we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We also incorporate comments that we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they share cultural information that aids others growing this plant.
