It grows to about 50cm high and 80cm wide, keeps clean, tidy foliage, and from autumn through winter and into spring it carries masses of small red flowers that open like tiny fireworks. Bred by Ozbreed for hard sites, it takes drought and frost down to minus 5 degrees once established.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers for most of the year.\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn, winter and spring blooms give colour while much of the garden is resting, and the red reads clearly from across a yard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow and tidy.\u003c\/strong\u003e At 50cm high it stays below window sills and path edges without constant trimming, and the foliage stays fresh rather than woody.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTough once established.\u003c\/strong\u003e Drought tolerant and frost tolerant to minus 5 degrees, so it suits cold inland gardens as well as dry coastal ones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeeds the birds.\u003c\/strong\u003e Honeyeaters work the flowers through winter, when little else is open.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVery little to do.\u003c\/strong\u003e A sparing feed and a prune every two or three years is the whole routine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works best\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMass planting.\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant 60cm apart in offset rows, two to three plants per square metre, and the plants knit into a continuous flowering carpet within two seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNative gardens.\u003c\/strong\u003e It sits naturally at the front of a bed of taller grevilleas, callistemons and westringias, filling the ground layer that native plantings often leave bare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRockeries and banks.\u003c\/strong\u003e The semi-prostrate habit drapes over rocks and low walls, and the sharp drainage of a slope is exactly what it wants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Cherry Cluster Grevillea in Australia\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePosition and climate.\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to part shade, with full sun giving the heaviest flowering. It is at home in cool temperate, warm temperate, Mediterranean and dry inland climates: Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia, the ACT and New South Wales from Sydney south. In humid subtropical gardens it sulks, so in south east Queensland keep it to the drier elevated districts such as Toowoomba.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil.\u003c\/strong\u003e Well drained soil is the one requirement.

Mulch with a chunky bark mulch. Use a native or slow release fertiliser sparingly, if at all, since grevilleas resent rich feeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePruning.\u003c\/strong\u003e Prune every two to three years if required, lightly after the spring flush, to keep the plant dense.

The plants travel well upright, and because the habit is low and spreading they settle quickly. Expect new growth within four to six weeks in warm soil and the first flowers the following autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95.
