Description and Growing Information
Flowering Period
| General Description |
| In order to survive in poor soils Grevillea have evolved with proteoid roots. These roots which develop each season, grow into the top levels of the soil to extract nutrients. |
| Cultivation |
| A marginally frost hardy plant that prefers acidic growing conditions and is intolerant of wet soils. Grevillea are particularly intolerant of phosphorous so a fertilizer low in this nutrient is a must. |
| Growth |
| Medium |
| Habitat |
| Found only in the southern hemisphere. |
