Description
Grevillea lanigera Mt Tamboritha is a low-growing, spreading native groundcover with soft, woolly foliage and delicate pinkish-red and cream flowers in spring. The small, oval leaves are covered in fine hairs that give them a distinctive silver-green to bluish tinge, creating attractive texture year-round. Rich in nectar, the flowers are a magnet for birds and pollinators, making this a rewarding addition to any wildlife-friendly garden.
Highly adaptable and easy to grow, Mt Tamboritha thrives in full sun in well-drained loam or sandy soils and tolerates coastal conditions, light frost, and extended dry periods. Growing to approximately 15 to 30cm tall and spreading 1 to 2m wide, it is an excellent choice for groundcover, rockeries, embankments, verges, and container plantings. Note that it does not perform well in humid conditions.
Key Features:
Growing & Care Guide
- Soil: Prefers well-drained loam or sandy soils. Avoid heavy, waterlogged, or humid conditions.
- Light: Best in full sun. Tolerates part shade.
- Watering: Low water needs once established. Tolerates extended dry periods. Keep soil moist but well drained.
- Fertiliser: Apply a low phosphorus slow release fertiliser. Avoid high phosphorus fertilisers as these can be toxic to Proteaceae.
- Maintenance: Low maintenance. Trim lightly after flowering to maintain a tidy, spreading shape. Avoid humid or poorly drained positions.
- Flowering: Clusters of pinkish-red and cream flowers appear in spring, rich in nectar and highly attractive to birds and pollinators.
