Grevillea

Grevillea rosmarinifolia

Description

Meet our gorgeous compact shrub, perfect for a small bird's nest! Not only is it great as a feature plant or hedge at 1.5m centres, but it also comes alive when pruned to create stunning flowering displays that will keep pesky traffic away from your outdoor space. This hardy and reliable plant thrives in well-drained soils and tolerates frost, so you don't have to worry about harsh winters. It's also super easy to care for – just feed with native fertilizer in spring and summer, water thoroughly afterwards to avoid leaf burn, and enjoy! One thing to note: some grevillea varieties can cause skin irritation, so make sure to wear protective gear when handling them if you're sensitive.
