Grevillea
Old Gold™
A low mounding dense shrub
(45 - 65cm x 1 - 1.5m) with golden green foliage, highlighted by golden new growth, and is either in bud or displaying a profusion of
coral pink flowers throughout the year, attractive to
honeyeaters and small insect-feeding birds.. Extremely
drought tolerant, it will grow in full sun or light shade,
in well drained, dry or moist soils, slightly alkaline to
acid pH. Hardy and adaptable in temperate to sub
tropical and semi arid climates, it
withstands heavy frosts and is suitable for inland or
coastal gardens.
Uses: For massed effect on
banks or bare areas, plant at 75cm centres; it may also be
planted as a hardy, long flowering container plant in hot
dry regions.
Maintenance:
Tip prune during spring and late summer to promote new growth and compactness.
Feed in early spring or late summer with controlled release
low phosphorus fertilizer. If container planted, use
best quality free-draining potting medium, and do not
over water.
