     I have never tried to strike Grevilleas - but I will look in my native 
     books tonight and see if there are any suggestions there - at least 
     one of my books, Australian Native Plants by Wrigley and Fagg (a great 
     book), has a chapter on propagation).

Susan,
     
I have a Grevillea  'Canberra Gem'  here in the UK which has survived all 
the recent winters and is clipped back regularly to six feet. It flowers 
here from February to November (peak in March), but try as I may, I cannot 
get cuttings to strike easily. Got any tips? After four or six months in a 
a bottom heated sand bench they usually have developed a callous, but 
getting roots is beyond me at the moment.
