Grevillea Silver Dawn

Common Name:
Grevillea 'Silver Dawn'

Description:
Grevillea 'Silver Dawn' is a compact, evergreen groundcover shrub, reaching approximately 20 centimetres in height and spreading up to 1 metre in width. It features deeply divided, silver-grey foliage that provides a striking contrast in garden settings. During spring and winter, this cultivar produces vibrant reddish-pink flowers that are rich in nectar, attracting birds and beneficial insects. 'Silver Dawn' thrives in well-drained soils and prefers a sunny location. Once established, it exhibits drought tolerance, making it suitable for gardens with dry conditions. Regular watering during the establishment period is beneficial. Pruning after flowering can help maintain its shape and promote bushiness. This Grevillea is an excellent choice for use as a groundcover, in rockeries, or as a feature plant in native garden designs.
