Grevillea 'Winter Flame' - Grevillea alpina rosmarinifoli Winter Flame

Grevillea 'Winter Flame' is a dense, rounded native shrub valued for its brilliant red toothbrush style flowers from late summer through to spring. It provides essential winter nectar for honey eating birds, making it a strong choice for habitat and native gardens. Thriving in Melbourne’s varied climates, it tolerates frost, coastal exposure, semi shade, and both clay and sandy loams.

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, moderate watering when young.
• Fertiliser: Use low phosphorus slow release fertiliser.
• Maintenance: Light prune after flowering to maintain compact form and encourage new growth.
• Flowering: Red and yellow spider flowers for much of the year.

If you want maximum flowering and clean shape, never hard prune into old wood. Instead, lightly tip prune immediately after flowering. This keeps the plant compact and triggers fresh growth that carries the next wave of blooms.
