I am a hardy native spreading ground cover grevillea, with bronze to red new growth and large red toothbrush flowers year round.
My flowers are showy attracting nectar feeding birds and a range of insects.
My foliage is deeply lobed slightly layered creating an interesting textured effect and good habitat for small animals such as frogs.
My trailing habit cascades beautifully over retaining walls and large pots. I am a great choice mass planted creating dense and colourful cover with the potential to supress many weeds.
I benefit from an annual application of a native slow release fertiliser and tolerate dry spells once established.

Tips for success
I naturally develop a good compact form without pruning but can be pruned to shape as desired
Plant at least 0.7m apart.
Choose a full sun to partly shaded position.
Once established, check soil moisture and water during extended dry periods.
Choose whether you are planting in the garden or a pot to receive guidance built from this plant's light, water, habit and use information.
