Grevillea ‘Flamingo’
A fast growing medium sized shrub with deeply divided dark green foliage. It has profuse large pink flowers all year round, making it a great source of food for nectar loving wildlife as well as a lovely garden feature. Can be used for cut flower use too.
Does well in most areas of Australia except for arid, and flowers best in a sunny spot. Grows to 3 to 4 metres high, and responds well to pruning, so good for screening and informal hedges. Feed in warm months with a good all purpose or native fertiliser.

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.
