Grevillea semperflorens

Common Name:
Grevillea × semperflorens

Description:
Grevillea × semperflorens is an upright evergreen shrub that typically reaches about 2 meters in height and width. It is a hybrid, believed to be a cross between Grevillea thelemanniana and a yellow-flowered form of Grevillea juniperina, possibly subspecies sulphurea. The plant features fine, needle-like foliage and produces apricot-pink, spider-like flowers throughout the year, attracting native wildlife, including bees, nectar-feeding birds, and butterflies. Its slight weeping habit adds a graceful touch to gardens. This hardy shrub thrives in full sun and is adaptable to most soil types, including those prone to waterlogging. It is both frost and drought tolerant, making it suitable for Melbourne's climate. Grevillea × semperflorens works well as an informal screen, hedge, or border. Regular pruning after flowering can help maintain its shape and encourage denser growth. Feeding in spring and summer with a suitable native fertilizer, followed by thorough watering, will promote optimal health and flowering.
