Tuckers Dwarf Spider Flower - Grevillea hybrida Tuckers Dwarf

Grevillea hybrida Tuckers Dwarf is a hardy, compact evergreen shrub with lush green foliage and masses of bright cerise to pink and cream spider flowers through winter and spring. Small in stature but big on impact, this Australian native grows to just 60cm tall and wide, making it an ideal choice for borders, decorative pots, rockeries, and native garden edges where space is limited.

Drought tolerant, frost hardy, and wind resistant, Tuckers Dwarf is a low-fuss performer that attracts nectar-feeding birds and bees throughout its flowering season. Its dense, shrub-like habit makes it equally suited to formal hedging, mass planting, and courtyard or balcony container displays.

Key Features:

• Soil: Prefers well-drained soils. Avoid heavy or waterlogged conditions.
• Light: Thrives in full sun to semi shade.
• Watering: Low water needs once established. Keep moist during dry periods.
• Fertiliser: Apply a low phosphorus slow release fertiliser. Avoid high phosphorus fertilisers as these can be toxic to Proteaceae.
• Maintenance: Low maintenance. Mulch well to retain moisture. Trim lightly after flowering to maintain a dense, compact shape.
• Flowering: Bright cerise to pink and cream spider flowers appear through winter and spring.

Tuckers Dwarf is one of the best compact Grevilleas for pots and small spaces. Plant in a quality free-draining potting mix, feed with a low phosphorus native fertiliser, and trim after flowering to keep it dense and floriferous year after year.
