I'm not sure who coined that common name, but it seems appropriate as this is probably the most commonly planted Grevillea in the Golden State. A low-growing, prickly creature, it actually looks better in the Northwest where it makes comparatively lush, dense growth. The narrow, dark green leaves and bright orange-red flowers recall those of Grevillea 'Canberra Gem', but the branches are weeping, giving the plant a softer appearance. It is also more compact than 'Canberra Gem', usually growing to no more than 4' tall and a little bit wider. Hardy to about 15 °F.
