Grevillea ‘Sandra Gordon’

 

A fast growing large shrub to small tree with deeply divided dark green foliage.  Beautiful large yellow flowers for most of the year except summer, which are very attractive to nectar feeding birds and other wildlife. A good feature or screening plant but needs to be pruned regularly and from a young age to keep a reasonably compact shape. Tolerates moderate frost levels and dry spells once established.

Feed in spring and summer with a low phosphorus 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
