Grevillea juniperina Red

Common Name:
Grevillea juniperina 'Red' (Juniper Grevillea)

Description:
Grevillea juniperina 'Red' is a hardy, evergreen Australian native shrub known for its fine, needle-like foliage and profuse displays of vibrant red, spider-like flowers. Blooming for much of the year, this compact grevillea is an excellent choice for attracting birds, bees, and butterflies to the garden. It thrives in Melbourne’s climate, preferring well-drained soil and a sunny position, with excellent drought and frost tolerance once established. Ideal for native gardens, rockeries, borders, and erosion control, this low-maintenance shrub responds well to light pruning, which encourages a denser growth habit and extended flowering.
