- Grevillea ‘Winter Delight’
The abundant red and cream winter flowering of this lovely compact Grevillea is its outstanding feature as the name suggests. The soft, grey foliage provides interest when the plant is not in flower. It needs a well drained soil and plenty of sun to flower to its full potential. It tolerates moderate frosts and can be trimmed back behind the spent flowers once the danger of frost has finished for the year. Feed at the same time with a low phosphorus fertiliser. It is an excellent choice for a rockery, a medium sized pot or as a mounding groundcover plant. Good for coastal positions.
