- Grevillea ‘Jester’
Grevillea ‘Jester’ is a moderately dense spreading shrub. The fern-like leaves are green above and much paler below. It grows to 3 metres tall and 4 metres wide. Great as a feature plant for rockeries and shrubberies. An unusual feature for a grevillea is the light fruity-rose fragrance to the tangerine coloured flowers. Attractive to butterflies and birds, and it flowers all year round.
Grow in a well drained soil in full sun for the best performance. It has a naturally dense habit, and it can be pruned to shape if desired. Withstands moderate frost and drought.
