Notes from the plant tag:
DESCRIPTION:
An evergreen spreading shrub with deeply divided dark green foliage. Produces bottlebrush shaped coral-apricot coloured flowers for long periods in winter and spring.
USES:
Grevilleas are loved by honey eaters flocking to feed on the flowers at dusk and dawn. Ideal for use as a low hedge or feature plant.
SOIL:
Well drained clay loam or sandy soil with a neutral to acid pH.
CARE:
Feed with a slow-release native fertiliser when buds form. Grevilleas can be phosphorus sensitive so the P ratio of the fertiliser needs to be under 3%. Avoid high nitrogen fertilisers which may encourage new growth with less flowers.
