Grevillea Tucker Time® Banquet

 

A medium shrub (1 - 1.5m H x 1.8m W) with a soft arching habit. The small lanceolate leaves are green above, and silvered green below; new growth is purple-pink, dotting the plant with colour even when not in flower. Clusters of glowing red flowers, borne along fine stems and hanging like lanterns, occur from late winter through spring, and are a constant source of nectar for honey-eating birds. Thrives in full sun or light shade, in moist well drained clay or sandy loams, neutral to acid pH, in cool temperate to sub tropical climates. Frost hardy, suitable for second line coastal situations.

 

Uses: plant in groups for visual impact; forms an excellent soft hedge if pruned lightly and often; mix with other shrubs to create habitat for birds.

 

Maintenance: Feed in early spring or late summer with low phosphorus controlled release fertilizer. Tip prune after flowering, more regularly if grown as a hedge.
