Grevillea Robyn Gordon

Common Name:
Grevillea 'Robyn Gordon'

Description:
Grevillea 'Robyn Gordon' is a popular evergreen shrub known for its compact growth habit and vibrant, long-lasting flowers. Typically reaching about 1.5 meters in height and width, it features deeply divided, light green leaves that provide an attractive, fern-like appearance. The plant produces large, cylindrical clusters of pinkish-red flowers, up to 15 cm long, throughout most of the year, with peak blooming from late spring through summer. These nectar-rich blossoms are highly attractive to birds, making 'Robyn Gordon' an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. This cultivar thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and suitable for a variety of soil types and climatic conditions, including those in Melbourne. Regular pruning after flowering helps maintain its dense form and encourages prolific blooming. As with many grevilleas, some individuals may experience skin irritation when handling the plant; wearing protective clothing is advisable.
