Grevillea Canterbury Gold™

A dense low spreading shrub (1-1.5m x 2-3m) with soft grey-green leaves, and bunches of gold flowers most of the year.  Hardy and adaptable in a wide range of soils and climates; very frost hardy, and excellent in coastal gardens.  It thrives in full sun or light shade, is very frost tolerant, and is happy in coastal gardens. Grows best in moist, well drained clay loams or sandy soils; neutral to acid pH suitable. May be pruned hard to maintain required shape and size.  One of the best honeyeater-attracting grevilleas in cultivation and makes a spectacular and ever-flowering combination when planted with Grevillea Tangerine.

Uses: as mass plantings to define paths or driveways, and amongst dark shrubs where its soft grey-green foliage has a lightening effect. An outstanding bird attracter. Frequently used for low groundcover or low to medium hedging. 

Maintenance: Feed in early spring or late summer with controlled release low phosphorus fertilizer.  Prune to shape in late summer, or more often if used as a hedge.
