Grevillea

The West Coast native- Grevillea Silk Carpet - is just as happy rambling down a bank in Bendigo or Byron as it is in Bunbury. Its long, slender stems are tipped with fat, firework-like flowers in spring, with sporadic blooms appearing throughout the year. These pinkish-red rounded flower clusters, each finished with long lime-green to yellow tips, are irresistible to local honeyeaters and add lively movement to the garden.
The fine, slender foliage creates a soft, cascading effect, making this groundcover easy to place among both native and exotic plantings. It excels in native and wildlife gardens, coastal landscapes, and anywhere a dense, soil-holding groundcover is needed. This variety helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, stabilise banks, and protect the roots of surrounding plants by keeping them cool in summer and warm in winter. It also looks superb trailing over a retaining wall.
As the parent species has vigorous roots, avoid planting too close to pipes. Prune after flowering to maintain a neat, dense habit.

Soil: Well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun to part shade. Drought, frost and coastal tolerant.

Grevillea Sylvia is a striking, long-flowering native shrub prized for its elegant foliage and vibrant blooms. It features finely divided, feathery grey-green leaves that create a soft, textured backdrop to its standout flowers. The large, spider-like blooms appear in rich rosy pink tones for most of the year, bringing long-lasting colour and interest to the garden. The unusual flowers are highly attractive to nectar-feeding birds, bees, and other pollinators, making this plant an excellent choice for supporting local wildlife.  With its naturally dense growth habit, Sylvia works beautifully as a feature plant or as part of a screening or informal hedge.  Regular light pruning from an early age will help maintain a compact, bushy shape and prevent the plant from becoming leggy.
