Shrubs

Grevillea Mt Tamboritha is a low-spreading evergreen shrub with dense, dark green foliage. The leaves are narrow and oblong and are arranged spiral-like on arching wiry stems. Each flower head is coloured pink-red and cream, and the blooms are densely crowded onto heads or spikes. The flowers appear primarily from late winter to spring although spot flowering can occur throughout the year. The ornamental foliage, compact form and showy flower clusters make the grevillea ideal for borders, edges, mass-planting, rockeries and embankments.

Soil: Well-drained, acidic soil.
Conditions: Full sun or partial shade. Coastal, frost and drought tolerant.
Size: Height 0.5m Width 2m

Grevillea Raspberry Dream - bred by Kings Park and Botanic Garden - is an exceptional performer that produces vivid red-pink flowers all year round. Each flower head is densely packed with small flowers, with long styles that bend over like hairpins before straightening out. With its naturally compact growing habit, Raspberry Dream is ideal for borders along paths, fence lines, driveways, and beds. Prune lightly as necessary to maintain its shape, and occasionally use a slow-release native fertilizer for optimal growth. 

Soil: Adaptable to most soil types.
Conditions: Full sun. Drought, frost, and coastal tolerant.
Size: Height 1.5m x width 1.5m
