A$9.00

Grevillea juniperina 'Red' is a hardy, fast-growing Australian native shrub known for its vibrant, spider-like red flowers and fine, needle-like green foliage. It is a versatile plant that typically blooms from winter through spring, acting as a major attractor for nectar-feeding birds and bees. This species is highly adaptable, though it thrives best in full sun and well-drained, acidic soil.

Planting and Care Guide

  • Sunlight: Prefers full sun for the most prolific flowering, though it will tolerate light or dappled shade.

  • Soil: Must have well-drained soil. It is particularly sensitive to phosphorus, so use a low-phosphorus native fertilizer.

  • Climate: Once established, it is extremely drought and frost tolerant. It prefers cooler areas and may struggle in regions with excessive humidity.

  • Maintenance: Responds well to light pruning after its main flowering period to maintain a dense shape and encourage future blooms.
