Grevillea red sunset

A compact and versatile shrub, the Grevillea red sunset grows up to 1 meter in height and 2 meters in width.

Its spider-like red to orange flowers are highly attractive to nectar-eating birds and insects and bloom abundantly in the winter and spring.

This plant thrives in a variety of climates, from sub-tropical to cool temperate, and has moderate frost tolerance.

Regular pruning and the occasional feeding with a low phosphorus fertilizer can promote a more compact growth.

Note that some people may experience skin irritation when handling grevilleas, so protective clothing is recommended.
