Grevillea 'Fire Cracker'

Grevillea ‘Fire Cracker’

A delightful low growing grevillea with vibrant red and yellow bird attracting flowers through winter and spring. It is a perfect shrub as a feature for the small garden and courtyard (especially when grown in a pot), or as an informal border in the large garden. The small lime green leaves keep the plant attractive even when it is not in flower.
