Grevillea belongs to the ancient plant family Grevilleoideae, which split into two subfamilies, Proteoideae before the separation of the Gondwanaland continent around 140 million years ago.
A very attractive prostrate shrub with a 2 metre spread that produces large pendant red-orange flowers 20 cm long. Flowering occurs during most of the year but occur more profusely during late autumn through to mid-summer putting on a magnificent display.
The vigorous growth habit of forming a dense trailing mat makes a great ground covering shrub. Grows equally as well if tubs and containers.
This Grevillea is parent to several commercially grown Grevillea's including Grevillea Robyn Gordon, Grevlliea Superb and Mason's Hybrid often referred to as Grevillea Ned Kelly.
Prefers a light to medium well-drained soil in an open sunny position. Drought and frost resistant.
Occurs naturally in the South-West Province of Western Australia.
The genus Grevillea was first formally described in 1809 by Joseph Knight from an unpublished manuscript by Robert Brown
The best time to sow Grevillea seed is autumn or spring; avoid the hottest and coldest months of the year in cool temperate climates.
There are two main methods to assist germination.
Pre-treatment of smoke: Not considered critical for this species but may be beneficial.
Many members of the Proteaceae are responsive to pre-treatment of smoke. Although germination will often occur without smoke treatment it has proved to be beneficial in reducing the number of days to germination and increasing germination rates in many species.
Smoke treatments are simple and can be undertaken either by soaking the seed overnight or by applying it to the surface after sowing, both provide good results. Smoke treatments are available by clicking here.
