Grevillea

Grevillea Orange Wow is a striking, compact grevillea that brings vibrant colour and life to the garden. With its cascading habit, lacy yet stiff foliage, and vivid orange toothbrush-shaped flowers, it creates an eye-catching display over a long flowering period. Perfect for feature planting, spilling over retaining walls, or adding texture to mixed native beds, Orange Wow delivers both visual impact and ecological benefits. Light pruning after flowering will help maintain a dense, tidy shape and promote further blooms. Every 3–4 years, a harder prune can rejuvenate the plant and encourage a fresh flush of growth.

For best results, feed with a low-phosphorus native fertiliser in spring and summer, and water well to avoid leaf burn.

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%.

Soil: Well-drained clay loams or sandy soil with a neutral to acid pH.
Conditions: Prefers a full sun to part shade position. Reasonably drought-hardy and will come through frost once established.
Size: Height 0.3m x width 4m
