Grevillea Coconut Ice

Common Name:
Grevillea 'Coconut Ice'

Description:
Grevillea 'Coconut Ice' is a medium-sized evergreen shrub, typically reaching about 2 meters in height and width. It features deeply divided, mid-green leaves with slightly prickly foliage, providing excellent shelter for small birds. The plant produces large, showy racemes of pink and orange flowers throughout the year, attracting nectar-loving birds to the garden. 'Coconut Ice' thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soils. Once established, it is both frost hardy and drought tolerant, making it well-suited to Melbourne's climate. This versatile shrub can be used as a feature plant, screen, or informal hedge. Annual pruning is recommended to maintain its dense, bushy habit. As with many grevilleas, some individuals may experience skin irritation when handling the plant; wearing protective clothing is advisable.
