Grevillea

Grevillea Canberra Gem is a medium-sized evergreen shrub with a dense, rounded growth habit and attractive, finely pointed foliage. During winter and spring, it produces an abundance of small pink to red, spider-like flowers that provide a striking display and attract bees, native birds and butterflies to the garden. A versatile and reliable garden performer, Canberra Gem is well suited to garden beds, borders and shrubberies, where its compact form provides year-round structure and seasonal colour. Prune by approximately one-third after flowering to maintain a dense, compact shape and prevent the plant from becoming straggly.

Soil: Well-drained soil.

Conditions: Full sun to part shade. Drought, coastal and frost tolerant.

Boongala Spinebill is a beautiful, spreading-to-weeping grevillea with long arching branches that really deserve to be on show.
The new growth comes through in lovely copper-red tones, and the foliage is something special — deeply toothed and finely cut, almost like a fern frond or fishbone. The leaves are dark pink-red to deep red, giving colour even when it’s not in full flower. It flowers for most of the year, with late spring through summer being the peak. The grey, softly hairy buds add extra contrast before opening to reveal rich pink to red blooms that birds absolutely love. For best colour and flowering, plant in full sun. It will handle dappled light, but it won’t colour up or flower nearly as well. Feed in spring and summer with a low-phosphorus native fertiliser and water it in well afterwards to prevent leaf burn. Perfect as a feature shrub where its graceful shape can really shine.

Soil: Can be grown on a sandy to clay soil, provided drainage is adequate.
Conditions: Full sun for best colour. Dappled shade. Drought, heat and frost tolerant.
Size: Height 2.5m x width 3m

Soil: Adaptable to most well-drained soils.
Conditions: Full sun. Drought & frost tolerant once established
Size: Grafted at approx. 1.2m–1.5m

Coastal Dawn Grevillea is a vigorous shrub with deeply divided, soft grey-green foliage and a profusion of pink and orange flowers that bloom prolifically through summer, and intermittently year-round. Like other grevilleas, Coastal Dawn is a great choice of plant as a screen or informal flowering hedge, and will attract birds and bees to your garden to feed on the nectar.
