A spectacular compact Australian native shrub featuring brilliant flame-red to orange-red flowers that create a dazzling display throughout autumn and winter. The distinctive, spider-like blooms resemble tiny flickering flames, contrasting beautifully with the plant's fine, narrow green foliage. Its colourful flowers provide a valuable source of nectar for honeyeaters and other native birds during the cooler months.

With its naturally low, spreading and gently mounding growth habit, Grevillea 'Legacy Flame' is an outstanding choice for small gardens, rockeries, sunny borders and decorative containers. Its compact size makes it particularly useful for mass planting, creating a vibrant carpet of flowers without overwhelming surrounding plants. The soft, non-prickly foliage adds year-round texture and interest.

Hardy and easy to maintain, Legacy Flame thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soil. Once established, it tolerates periods of dryness, light frost and coastal conditions. Water regularly during establishment, apply a slow-release fertiliser formulated for Australian native plants and trim lightly after flowering if necessary to maintain a dense, attractive shape.

A Grevillea with a special story: 'Legacy Flame' was released to commemorate the centenary of Legacy Australia in 2023. Its brilliant flowers symbolise the Legacy Torch, honouring the organisation's long-standing support of Australian veterans' families.
