Grevillea olivacea red ‘Olive Leaf Grevillea’

A showy Grevillea that is very popular due to its waterwise properties. It has dense, deep-green foliage and displays a profusion of spider-like red flowers from winter through to late spring.  An upright growing habit with densely packed foliage makes this particular Grevillea ideal as a hedge, or perfect for your native garden. This variety is popular with landscapers for mass plantings and ideal as a screen, it is also ideal for attracting birds to your garden.

Care 

Grevilleas prefer full sun, they are hardy and drought tolerant, and will grow in a large range of soil types, including coastal areas. Will tolerate periods of dryness once established, but will benefit from deep watering occasionally in dry weather.

Olivacea red is low maintenance although pruning after flowering maintains the desired shape. Feeding with a low phosphorus controlled release fertiliser in early spring or late summer is beneficial.
