Grevillea Tuckers Dwarf

Common Name:
Tucker’s Dwarf Grevillea

Description:
Grevillea ‘Tucker’s Dwarf’ is a compact, low-growing Australian native shrub valued for its dense habit and profusion of vibrant red to pink spider-like flowers. This hardy variety forms a neat, spreading mound of fine green foliage, making it ideal for smaller gardens, borders, rockeries, and mass planting. Flowering heavily from winter through spring and often continuing sporadically throughout the year, it provides long-lasting colour and seasonal interest. Well suited to Melbourne conditions, it thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soils. Once established, it is drought tolerant and requires minimal maintenance, responding well to light pruning to maintain its compact shape. Its nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to birds and pollinators, making it an excellent addition to wildlife-friendly landscapes.
