The Poorinda name is attached to many well known Australian cultivars, particularly Grevillea. All plants bearing this name originated on the property of the late Leo Hodge in north-eastern Victoria. This cultivar was listed as a seedling from 'Poorinda Snow Queen' and like this parent plant is thought to be a hybrid between Prostanthera phylicifolia and Prostanthera lasianthos. 'Poorinda Bride' was a Spring 200 introduction by the University of California Santa Cruz Koala Blooms Australian Plant Introduction Program that we sold this plant from 2003 until 2008.
