Grevillea Bronze Rambler

Common Name: Grevillea ‘Bronze Rambler’

Description:
Grevillea 'Bronze Rambler' is a hardy, evergreen groundcover hybrid developed in Victoria from Grevillea rivularis × 'Poorinda Peter'. It features finely divided, fern-like foliage that emerges in rich bronze-red tones, creating year-round contrast and colour. From spring through autumn, it produces masses of toothbrush-style red to deep purple-red flowers that attract nectar-feeding birds, bees, and butterflies. Thriving in full sun to part shade, it tolerates drought, light frost, coastal conditions, and a wide range of soil types, including poor or sandy soils. With a dense, trailing growth habit, it is ideal for suppressing weeds on embankments, in rockeries, or across large native garden beds. It requires little maintenance beyond occasional tip pruning to maintain form.
