Grevillea ‘Goldfever’

 

A very useful low maintenance spreading shrub, with a naturally dense and rounded habit. It flowers for most of the year, with pale golden spider type flowers, which are good for nectar loving wildlife. Great as a feature ground cover plant for rockeries and shrubberies as well as for pots. Can be grown on a range of soil types including heavier ones. Frost and drought tolerant once established. While it is an easy care plant, a little bit of care will see even better results. Light pruning will encourage an even more dense habit. Unpruned, it grows to around 1.5 metres wide, and 30 centimetres high.

Gold Fever is a cross between Grevillea juniperina and Grevillea rhyolitica, and has all the good characteristics of the parent plants.

Feed in warm months with a good all purpose or native fertiliser if needed.

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.
