A hardy ground cover grevillea with golden flowers with light orange tones, that dot the plant from autumn through to spring. The foliage is reasonably prickly, which can be a useful feature if you want to deter pets or people from particular areas, but can make weeding a little tricky. It handles frost well, and dry spells, making it a good plant for cooler and inland areas, as well as coastal sites. Feed with a low phosphorus fertiliser if needed.

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