Grevillea

Grevillea

Grevillea juniperina hybrid

Description

Meet 'Juniper Rose', a low-maintenance ground cover that's perfect for creating a wildlife-friendly habitat! This beautiful grevillea is ideal for attracting smaller birds like spinebills and honeyeaters, who'll love its dense growth habit and profuse flowers. To keep it looking its best, simply prune it lightly in spring to encourage more blooms. A sprinkle of low-phosphorus fertilizer will also help stimulate flowering for the next season. Just remember to wear protective clothing when handling grevilleas - they can cause skin irritation in some people!
