A spectacular, low-growing Australian native Grevillea that forms a dense, spreading carpet of attractive, deeply lobed green foliage. The bronze-coloured new growth develops rich burgundy tones during cooler weather, providing beautiful year-round foliage interest. An abundance of striking crimson-red, toothbrush-like flowers appears from late spring through summer.

Its vigorous, prostrate growth habit makes it an outstanding groundcover for native gardens, rockeries, embankments, retaining walls and mass planting. The dense foliage helps suppress weeds and stabilise soil, while the nectar-rich flowers attract honeyeaters and other native birds.

Thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soil. Once established, it tolerates light frost, coastal conditions and short periods of dryness. In Brisbane's warm, humid climate, good drainage and adequate airflow are particularly important. Light pruning helps maintain dense, compact growth. Apply a low-phosphorus fertiliser formulated for Australian native plants.
