Grevillea Carpet Layer

 

A dense vigorous carpet (1.5 – 2.5 m W), with overlaying, texturally interesting foliage, and large deep pink ‘toothbrush’ flowers displayed across the entire plant.

 

Flowering time predominates in spring to early winter, with sporadic flowering at other times of the year. Honeyeaters are constantly feeding on this plant.
Grows well in full sun and light shade, in well drained clay or sandy loams, neutral to lightly acid pH. Extremely frost hardy, and suitable for second line coastal conditions.
 

Uses: a spectacular carpeting plant for broad garden beds, slopes and banks; will assist in soil stabilising and provides a ‘living mulch’ for companion plants. An outstanding groundcover, with a stunning flowering display for many months.
 

Maintenance: End trimming is required just to maintain tidy shape, may be pruned more heavily if required; feed in late winter or late summer with low phosphorus controlled release fertilizer.
