Grevillea 'Juniper Rose' Australian native ground cover

Grevillea juniperina hybrid ‘Juniper Rose’

The dense ground covering growth habit combines with profuse flowering through the cooler months of the year to create a very useful, waterwise grevillea. Use ‘Juniper Rose’ as a mounding ground cover to create excellent habitat for smaller birds such as spinebills and honeyeaters. It rarely needs maintenance, however, a light pruning and a handful of low phosphorus fertilizer in mid spring will help to stimulate better flowering for the following season. Introduced by Zanthorrea Nursery from Perth, Western Australia.

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