Low and wide-spreading with maroon-red new leaves and maroon-red winter-spring flowers, Grevillea Amazing Grace brings a touch of native colour to the garden landscape. Leaves are ferny and divided, unlike the parent laurifolia plant, and its new foliage is maroon-bronze in cooler months. Amazing Grace is perfect for erosion control, planting on slopes and banks, ground cover under larger shrubs and trees, and underplanting in native gardens. Feed with a slow-release native fertiliser when buds form - grevilleas can be phosphorus-sensitive so the P ratio of the fertiliser needs to be under 3%.
