This very cool, but (alas!) not very hardy Grevillea belongs in the “toothbrush flowered” group. It has deeply lobed leaves and bright red flowers and may eventually reach 8' tall and wide or larger. The foliage is a favorite among growers of Proteaceae for the floral industry. Although not difficult to grow in well drained soil, it cannot be considered hardy below about 22 °F in the Pacific Northwest. Perhaps in a climate with more summer heat it would display better frost-hardiness.
