Grevillea Tucker Time® New Vintage™
 

Known as the ‘Grape Grevillea’ for its large showy bunches of red and orange flowers, this selection is a prostrate, densely spreading plant (20cm H x 1.5 - 2m W). Foliage is also dense, deeply lobed and very attractive as a backdrop to the flowers, which begin as eye-catching buds that burst into bloom throughout the year, the prime time being spring to summer. It grows best in full sun, favouring very dry to lightly moist or well drained soils, and is suitable for cool temperate to semi arid and sub tropical climates. It is frost tolerant, and will grow in second line coastal conditions.

 


Uses: spectacular as a dense spreading groundcover for sloping garden beds, and as a grafted standard specimen. Plant in sturdy container such as a terracotta pipe for an outstanding container specimen, or group in architectural clusters for greater impact.

 


Maintenance: feed in early spring or late summer with low phosphorus controlled release fertilizer. Pruning of stem ends will control spread, promote new growth and stimulate even more flowering. If container grown, use best quality potting medium and keep moist but not wet.
