Grevillea Fanfare™

A quick-growing carpeting plant spreading 2- 3 metres, with large deeply lobed leaves and red-tipped new growth.  Long toothbrush flowers of deep pink maturing to wine-red, well displayed from spring to autumn, are very attractive to honeyeaters.  Grows easily in moist clay loams or sandy soils, neutral to acid pH, in cool temperate to sub tropical climates. Loves full sun or light shade, is very frost hardy, and is well suited to coastal or inland gardens.

Uses: A great natural mulch for conserving moisture in garden beds; will cascade down steep slopes, spreads attractively beneath other shrubs and is very useful in providing quick cover over open ground, on banks and retaining walls.

Maintenance: responds to heavy tip pruning in spring or late summer. Feed at the same time with low phosphorus controlled release fertilizer.
