Grevillea Boongala Spinebill
$28.00
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.
