Grevillea 'Ned Kelly' - Grevillea banksii bipinnatifid Ned Kelly

Grevillea 'Ned Kelly' is a vigorous evergreen shrub known for its dense, fern like foliage and large, bright orange red flowers that appear throughout the year. Highly attractive to birds and pollinators, it offers continuous colour and habitat value. Its tough, upright habit and fast growth make it an excellent choice for hedging, screening, or as a bold feature in Melbourne native and low water gardens.

Key Features:

• Soil: Prefers well drained soils including sandy, loam and improved clay.
• Light: Requires full sun for strongest flowering.
• Watering: Low water needs, moderate watering when young.
• Fertiliser: Use low phosphorus slow release fertiliser.
• Maintenance: Light pruning after flowering encourages dense growth.
• Flowering: It produces orange-red blooms throughout the year.

Treat Ned Kelly like a performance plant. Light, regular pruning, free draining soil, no pampering. Do that and you’ll get a compact shrub with aggressive red flowering instead of a sparse, woody mess.
