Grevillea

Grevillea

Grevillea lanigera

Description

Meet our gorgeous Grevillea, a hardy low shrub that brings joy with its stunning pink-red flowers from winter to spring! It's also got great foliage that's just perfect for adding some texture to your garden. This adaptable beauty loves well-drained soil and can thrive in sunny spots, but it's not fussy about light shade either. Plus, once it's established, it's super drought-tolerant - talk about low maintenance! If you're planning to bring Grevillea into your garden, don't worry if it gets a bit chilly - it can handle moderate frost levels. Before we get excited about planting our new friend, just a heads up: some people might experience skin irritation when handling Grevilleas, so be sure to wear protective clothing if you have sensitive skin.
