I am an Australian native ground cover form of Grevillea with narrow pointed foliage and masses of red and cream spider flowers which can appear year round if planted in a sunny location.
My compact form is sufficiently dense that it will outcompete most weeds.
My flowers are particularly popular with small nectar feeding birds including spinebills and honeyeaters.
I work particularly well in rockeries, on banks or cascading over retaining walls.
Caution: Skin irritant
