Grevillea lanigera Mt Tamboritha

Common Name: Mount Tamboritha Woolly Grevillea

Description:
Grevillea lanigera 'Mount Tamboritha' is a compact, spreading evergreen Australian native shrub known for its soft, grey-green foliage and showy pink and cream spider-like flowers. Blooming from late autumn through spring, its nectar-rich flowers attract birds, bees, and butterflies, making it an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. This low-growing variety is ideal for ground cover, rockeries, borders, and container planting. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, 'Mount Tamboritha' is highly drought and frost tolerant once established, requiring minimal maintenance. It performs best in full sun with well-drained soil and responds well to occasional pruning to maintain its shape.
