Grevillea rhyolitica – Deua Grevillea

An attractive medium sized shrub, growing from 1 to 2 metres tall and wide. It has a main flush of pendulous attractive red flowers in spring to summer, with spot flowering through the rest of the year,  which attract birds. It is frost and drought tolerant, heavy frosts can damage the foliage. It responds well to pruning to create a more dense plant, useful for informal hedging and screening.

Nurseries stock a good range of plants, but due to space and supplies, they may or may not have the wanted plant in stock. If they don’t, they may be able to order it in for you.  Specialist nurseries are also able to give great advice, and if they don’t have the plant you want, they can often suggest alternative plants that will be just as good for you.
