Perfect for embankments, slopes, rockeries, and spilling over retaining walls, this low-maintenance variety responds well to an annual prune and a yearly application of native fertiliser to encourage fresh growth and prolific flowering.

Grevillea Gold Cluster is a superb, ultra-low, dense groundcover that smothers the soil surface and suppresses even the most determined weeds. This hardy grevillea delights with an abundance of petite, spider-like yellow flowers that brighten the garden through winter and spring, creating a striking contrast against its fine, juniper-like foliage. The flowering is naturally profuse, and because grevilleas bloom at the ends of their shoots, regular pruning in early summer encourages even heavier flowering and a tidier, more compact habit. Ideal for cascading over walls, softening garden edges, spilling from containers, or forming a luminous carpet across banks and open garden beds, Gold Cluster is both ornamental and highly practical.

Conditions: Full sun. Drought, frost and coastal tolerant.
