Growing to about 3 metres I am a medium sized Grevillea featuring large red fine brush flowers year round.
I was officially named the 'RSL Spirit of ANZAC' to commemorate the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces at Gallipoli and the many other conflicts since then. I was released in 2015 to honour 100 years of the ANZAC spirit.
My nectar rich blooms attract nectar feeding wildlife including honey eating birds, insects and small mammals.
My bright flower colour contrasts beautifully with my mid green foliage
I have a naturally dense and bushy habit but benefit from a regular prune to shape which can be done in any season.
I am happiest in well drained soils and a good choice for sandy and loam soils. I will perform at my best in a sunny position and am drought tolerant once established.
Caution: Skin irritant
I am popular and will make you happy because...
Bred by WA's Kings Park and Botanic Garden, my prolific blooms are a magnet for nectar feeding birds
My stunning large red flowers appear from autumn to summer
