    Grevillea 'Honey Barbara'

The beautiful orange flowers tipped with yellow borne all year round on a relatively compact shrub are the key features of this stunning grevillea. It makes a wonderful feature plant that will attract spectacular nectar feeding birds to your garden. Trim it back lightly behind the spent flower heads after each major flush of blooms and feed it at the same time with low phospohorus native fertiliser, watering in well afterwards.

Note – some grevilleas can cause skin irritation to some people. If you are affected wear protective clothing when handling grevilleas
