Common name:
A superb ground cover grevillea, with an attractive dense growth habit that will suppress weeds.
It flowers over a long period, from winter to spring with some spot flowers in autumn, with small spider type red and cream flowers.
They are nectar rich and attractive to small birds and native bees.
Does well in coastal sites, flowers best in sunny positions but performs well in part shade. Tolerates light frost. Prune lightly after flowering for an even more dense habit, and feed in spring with a low phosphorus fertiliser.
This particular grevillea may cause skin irritation to some individuals. If you are affected, it is recommended to wear protective clothing when handling any grevillea plants.
