This small compact shrub with dense needle foliage that provides safe nesting habitat for small birds such as Scrub Wrens. Good as a feature shrub or plant at 1.5m centres and trim as a flowering hedge that will deter traffic from people and animlas. A hardy and reliable plant, adaptable to most well drained soils and aspects. It responds well to heavy pruning. Drought and quite frost tolerant.
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
