Grevillea Winpara Gold

Common Name:
Grevillea 'Winpara Gold'

Description:
Grevillea 'Winpara Gold' is a fast-growing, hardy evergreen shrub that typically reaches up to 2 meters in height and width. It features fine, grey-green foliage and produces abundant clusters of yellow and pinkish-red flowers, which can appear as a soft gold color, from winter through spring. These nectar-rich blooms attract a variety of native birds and pollinators, enhancing local biodiversity. The plant thrives in full sun and is adaptable to a range of soil types, including sandy, clay, alkaline, and acidic soils. It is both drought and frost tolerant once established, making it suitable for Melbourne's climate. 'Winpara Gold' is versatile and can be used for hedging, screening, coastal plantings, or as a feature shrub in gardens. Regular pruning after flowering helps maintain its shape and encourages denser growth. Avoid using fertilizers high in phosphorus, as grevilleas are sensitive to it.
