Description
Grevillea 'Red Sunset' is a medium, fast growing Australian native shrub known for its dark red spider like flowers that cover the plant in winter and spring. Its dense spreading form makes it ideal for hedging, screening and mixed shrubbery, while its compact stature allows it to work beautifully in smaller gardens and coastal landscapes. This variety is highly attractive to nectar feeding birds and thrives in Melbourne conditions with excellent tolerance for frost, drought and coastal winds. It performs reliably in well drained soils and its low maintenance nature makes it a popular choice for both residential and commercial plantings.
Key Features:
