Grevillea 'Red Hooks' - Grevillea longifolia tetragonoloba Red Hooks

Grevillea 'Red Hooks' is a vigorous, fast growing Australian native shrub known for its bold red toothbrush style flowers that appear prominently during winter and spring. The long, narrow, deeply lobed green foliage creates a dramatic texture, making this grevillea a standout feature in native gardens. It is widely used as a screening or hedging shrub thanks to its large size, dense spreading habit and excellent resilience to drought, frost and wind. The nectar rich flowers attract honeyeaters and beneficial insects, while the foliage is also suitable for floral arrangements. 

Key Features:

• Soil: Prefers well drained soils including sandy, loam and improved clay.
• Light: Full sun to semi shade. Flowers best with good light.
• Watering: Low water needs, keep moist only during prolonged dry periods.
• Fertiliser: Use low phosphorus slow release fertiliser.
• Maintenance: Light pruning after flowering promotes density and shape.
• Flowering: Masses of red toothbrush flowers throughout Winter and Spring.

For nonstop colour and a tight habit, lightly tip prune after each flowering flush. Don’t wait for it to get leggy. Small, regular cuts keep new growth coming.
