    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Fabulous plant with boring name, this is one of the most exciting Grevillea's to come our way in some time. From Canberra this low -- to 18" x spreading 5' or more -- fine-textured ground cover surprised us with fire-engine-red flowers in abundance in late winter through spring and periodically throughout the year. Happily, it is among the hardiest of the genus, surviving temperatures to nearly 10 ºF with little damage. Not, however, a lover of high summer humidity with heat, though particularly lean soil provides some mitigation. As with all Grevilleas, not to be fertilized with phosphorus or potassium. We have planted ours to great effect, we think, with Rosemarina officinalis 'Ken Taylor' and Ceanothus porrectus 'Emily Brown' -- all spilling over a low stone wall in full sun. Lean soil; drought tolerant once established. USDA zone 8; possibly zone 7.
