Grevillea shrubs

We love all grevilleas, but there are some species which are easier to grow than others, and some which flower beautifully.

• Grevillea Apricot Glow: A small shrub with dark green foliage and Apricot flowers in winter and spring.
• Grevillea Bonnie Prince Charlie: A compact, small shrub with red and yellow flowers. It's a fast establishing native with a low spreading habit.
• Grevillea Forest Rambler: A spreading shrub with bright, green leaves and pale purple-pink flowers.
• Grevillea Gin Gin Gem: A great ground cover grevillea with a dense growth habit that will suppress weeds.
• Grevillea 'Lady O' PBR: A medium spreading shrub showcasing bright red flowers, which can grow throughout all the seasons.
• Grevillea Mt Tamboritha: This shrub is drought and frost tolerant, and showcases pink spider-like flowers in winter through to spring.
• Grevillea Red Sunset: This compact, fast-growing native features dense rounded growth and red/orange flowers which attract flowers and insects.
• Grevillea Robyn Gordon: Thanks to its year-round flowering, this shrub is one of the most popular of the grevilleas.
• Grevillea rosmarinifolia: Similar to rosemary herb bushes, this dense and bushy shrub grows rosemary-like leaves contrasted by red spidery flowers.
• Grevillea Winpara Gem: A fast-growing, beautiful upright shrub with grey-green deeply divided leaves.

Many species of grevillea shrubs live for anywhere between 10 to 15 years, and in some few cases — up to 20 years. There are things you can do to extend the life of your shrub, however. With the correct maintenance, pruning, and watering, your plant will be healthy and live past the typical lifespan.

Grevilleas need well drained soils. You might want to consider planting your shrub in a raised garden bed, or in larger gardens. A few weeks prior to planting your new grevillea shrub, prepare the soil with a combination of well-aged cow manure, blood, and bone. Avoid using fresh manure, as these can be acidic to the plant's roots.

Grevilleas are sensitive to excessive levels of phosphorous, so your shrub will benefit from specialised native fertilisers. If you're unsure which one is the best product for your plant, ask our friendly team. We'll be more than happy to point you in the right direction.
