Grevillea ‘Burgundy Blaze’

 

Grevillea Burgundy Blaze is a dense, medium-sized shrub with a spectacular display of pinkish red flowers in spring and summer, and is excellent as a specimen shrub or informal screen plant that will attract honey eating birds to your garden. The beautiful soft foliage is borne on arching branches with the burgundy coloured new growth being an additional highlight to create year round interest. Handles drought and tolerant of moderate levels of frost.

Feed in spring and summer with a good native fertilizer, watering in well afterwards to avoid leaf burn.

Note – some grevilleas can cause skin irritation to some people. If you are affected wear protective clothing when handling grevilleas
