{"title":"Grevilleas","description":"\u003cp\u003eGrevilleas are the workhorses of Australian native gardens, and this range covers over 70 of them, from 40cm groundcovers to full silky oak trees. Every one is bird attracting, evergreen and drought tolerant once established, and most shrug off poor soil. The real decision is form and climate: the low south eastern spreaders take frost in their stride, while the big Queensland bred hybrids flower almost year round in warmer gardens. Filter by height and climate below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStart with the form, not the flower\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe flowers will win you over either way, so choose on size and habit first. For groundcover, 'Mt Tamboritha' hugs the ground at 40cm tall and 1.5m across, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/forest-rambler-grevillea-grevillea-forest-rambler\"\u003e'Forest Rambler'\u003c\/a\u003e spreads to 2m at just 50cm high, and 'Winter Delight' carries pink and red spider flowers through the coldest months. For borders, pots and small gardens, 'Mini Marvel' stays under 1m and flowers most of the year. In the middle sits \u003ca href=\"\/products\/robyn-gordon-grevillea-grevillea-bipinnatifida-x-banksii-robyn-gordon\"\u003e'Robyn Gordon'\u003c\/a\u003e, the most planted of all at 1.5m tall and 2.5m wide with red brushes almost year round. For screening, 'Moonlight' reaches 4m and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/grevillea-honey-gem-grevillea-honey-gem\"\u003e'Honey Gem'\u003c\/a\u003e 4.5m, both fast. At the top end, Brown Silky Oak makes an 8m feature tree and Southern Silky Oak (\u003cem\u003eGrevillea robusta\u003c\/em\u003e) a genuine 15m shade tree for acreage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMatching grevilleas to your climate\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll of them want full sun and free draining soil. From there, breeding decides. The low spreaders bred from south eastern alpine species, Mt Tamboritha, Winter Delight, Forest Rambler and 'Lilliane', are frost hardy and suit Melbourne, Canberra, Hobart and the hills, though Winter Delight sulks in humid summers and is a poor choice north of Sydney. The reverse applies to the big Queensland hybrids: Robyn Gordon, Honey Gem and Red Silky Oak thrive from the tropics through subtropical and arid gardens but handle light frost only. Perth and Adelaide gardeners have the widest choice from our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/australian-natives\"\u003eAustralian native plant range\u003c\/a\u003e, since most are built for dry summers and take little water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting and spacing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrainage decides success. On heavy clay, mound the bed 200mm to 300mm high rather than digging deep, and never add rich compost or manure to the hole. Space groundcovers 1m apart for full cover within two seasons, Mini Marvel at 80cm, Robyn Gordon and 'Superb' at 1.5m, screening varieties at 2m and Brown Silky Oak at 3m. Water deeply once or twice a week through the first summer, mulch 75mm deep, then step back: an established plant needs almost nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeeding, pruning and the phosphorus rule\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGrevilleas are phosphorus sensitive. Feed only with a low phosphorus native fertiliser, once in spring, and skip the blood and bone. Tip prune after each flowering flush from the first year, because a plant clipped little and often stays dense for a decade, while one left alone goes woody in the centre. Wear gloves when pruning: the foliage of Robyn Gordon and Superb can irritate sensitive skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich grevilleas handle frost?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe low growers bred from southern species: Mt Tamboritha, Winter Delight, Forest Rambler and Lilliane are all frost hardy. The large flowered Queensland hybrids take light frost only, so in cold districts plant them against a warm wall or choose the southern types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use normal fertiliser on them?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Standard fertilisers and manures carry too much phosphorus, which yellows the foliage and can kill the plant over time. Use a native specific low phosphorus blend once a year and they will not ask for more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill they really bring birds?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, and quickly. The brushes are nectar factories, and varieties like Robyn Gordon and Mini Marvel that flower most of the year feed honeyeaters through winter when little else does.

Each plant spreads to about a metre, so the canopies overlap slightly and the bed reads as one continuous cover rather than a row of separate shrubs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat fertiliser should I use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA low phosphorus native fertiliser in early spring, and nothing heavier. Grevilleas are adapted to phosphorus poor Australian soils, and standard complete fertilisers cause yellowing and can kill the plant outright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it handle frost?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight frost only. It is at home in subtropical, warm temperate, Mediterranean and arid gardens, but repeated hard frosts damage the growth tips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Nursery Near Me","offers":[{"title":"Tube","offer_id":51642067714367,"sku":"QLD-tube","price":22.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"140mm (Pack of 10)","offer_id":55100473835839,"sku":null,"price":185.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/2917\/5359\/files\/Grevillea-Mini-Marvel-Grevillea-hybrid-Mini-Marvel.png?v=1766223645"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/2917\/5359\/collections\/grevilleas.jpg?v=1749348487","url":"https:\/\/nurserynearme.com.au\/collections\/grevilleas.oembed?page=3","provider":"Nursery Near Me","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
