Grevillea ‘Robyn Gordon’

One of the most popular of all grevilleas due to its compact growth habit,  all year round flowering and no fuss nature. It makes a great bird attracting feature shrub that is adaptable to a very wide range of soil types and climatic conditions. Trim off the spent flower heads as they start to look shabby. 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

WHERE TO GET YOUR PLANT

Once you have found the plant that looks right for you, the next step is where to buy it.
Most nurseries stock a good range of plants, but due to space and supplies, they may not always have the plant that you are searching for in stock. If they don’t, they may be able to order it in for you if you request it.
Specialist nurseries are also able to give great advice, and if they don’t have the plant you have planned on, they can often suggest alternatives that will also work well for you.
