Grevillea Poorinda Royal Mantle Standard

Grevillea Poorinda Royal Mantle is a hardy, fast-growing ground cover that can also be grafted onto Grevillea robusta to create an attractive weeping standard. It features beautiful coppery-red new foliage and dark red toothbrush-style flowers borne on short terminal branchlets. The red styles are tipped with distinctive yellow stigmas, giving the blooms extra contrast. As a shrub, Royal Mantle forms a dense, low-growing, prostrate habit with mid-green leaves that vary in shape—some are lobed while others have smooth margins. In late winter and spring it produces clusters of deep red flowers that attract nectar-feeding birds to the garden.

Soil: Well-drained, acidic soil free of phosphorus.
