Grevillea Copper Crest™
 

Grevillea Copper Crest™

A low spreading ground covering plant (prostrate x 2 - 3m wide) with copper-coloured divided foliage and bronze new growth. Pink toothbrush flowers bloom most of the year, attractive to honeyeaters, wrens and thornbills.  Reliable in moist clay loams and sandy soils of neutral to acid pH, and does well in climates ranging from temperate to sub tropical (and semi arid with additional water). Loves full sun or light shade, and is hardy to moderate successive frosts. It is equally suited to inland or coastal gardens.

Uses: Excellent for covering open areas beneath other shrubs; cascades down walls or banks for dramatic landscape effect.  One of those sturdy and reliable standbys that no garden should be without.

Maintenance: Shape by pruning ends of branches following main flowering. Feed in early spring or late summer with low  phosphorus controlled release fertilizer.
