Exceptionally well suited to Adelaide’s Mediterranean climate, it is prized for its unusually dark flowers — deep wine, burgundy and near-black tones — a rare colour range among grevilleas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"889\" data-end=\"1270\"\u003eFlowering mainly from late winter through spring, with sporadic blooms at other times of year, ‘Black Shiraz’ provides bold contrast, strong architectural form and outstanding bird appeal.
